A member asked:

What is the treatment for extreme restlessness from taking ssri's?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Notify your doctor!: Ms. Smitt, If this side effect is not lifting after a few days, you need to contact your psychiatrist. The proper way to medicate and deal with side effects is patient specific, and if you need a change in treatment, it has to be done by somebody familiar with your health and mental health state. Please, consult your own doctor.
