A member asked:
Can citalopram cause me to feel restless/edgy? i've been on 20 mg for 10 days after being on 10 mg for 3 weeks previously. would ativan (lorazepam) help?

Yes and no: It's one thing to give patients undergoing cancer chemotherapy symptomatic treatments for weight loss, headaches, nausea and vomiting. Cancer treatments are toxic. That's why they work. It's quite another to treat side effects of 1 psychoactive drug with another psychoactive drug. If at all possible, find a more tolerable antidepressant instead.
