When experiencing irritability, medication treatment can be considered to alleviate symptoms. Commonly used medications include vitamins (such as vitamin B1 and granisetron), which can regulate nerve function and relieve tension and anxiety, thereby helping to manage irritability. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicines such as Jiwei Zhenxin Granules, Anshen Bunaoye (tonic for the nerves and brain), and Shugan Jieyu Capsules are often used to treat irritability due to their mild effects and fewer side effects. For patients with more severe symptoms, doctors may prescribe anti-anxiety medications (such as benzodiazepines like lorazepam and oxazepam) or antidepressants (such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like sertraline and fluvoxamine). These medications should be used under a doctor's supervision, and self-medication should be avoided.
