JAMA 311:682-691, Porsteinsson, A.P.,et al, 2014
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Among patients with probable Alzheimer disease and agitation who were receiving psychosocial intervention, the addition of citalopram compared with placebo significantly reduced agitation and caregiver distress; however, cognitive and cardiac adverse effects of citalopram may limit its practical application at the dosage of 30 mg per day.
