: medication. Initial dosing should be small and raised cautiously
until behavior is controlled. Selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors are not indicated for aggressive behavior. If a
benzodiazepine is used, the initial dose should be low.
Buspirone is not effective if given on an as-needed basis. It is
administered in small divided doses daily to control agitation.
