What do you mean by agitated?

I don't know what you mean by agitated. If it's anxiety then benzos might work, but it depends what kind of anxiety it is. Social? Panic? GAD--different meds work in each case. On the other hand, the agitation might me a sign of mania or hypomania in which case maybe lithium or certain anticonvulsants might help. If it's ADHD then maybe a stimulant would help calm you down. So it all depends on what kind of agitation it is. But if it's a minor thing that doesn't greatly interfere with your life, then try something less drastic, e.g., meditation, exercise, or the herb Kava Kava.
