Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Irritability can generally be managed and treated with medication. Vitamin supplementation—such as vitamin B1 and gamma-oryzanol—is commonly used. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) options include Jiwei Zhenxin Granules, Anshen Bunao Liquid, and Shugan Jieyu Capsules. Conventional Western medications frequently prescribed include lorazepam, oxazepam, sertraline, fluvoxamine, duloxetine, and venlafaxine.
