Disclosed herein are methods of administering relatively high doses of dexmedetomidine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to a human subject, without also inducing significant sedation. The disclosed methods are particularly suitable for the treatment of agitation, especially when associated with neurodegenerative and/or neuropsychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia, bipolar illness such as bipolar disorder or mania, dementia, depression, or delirium.

Described herein are compounds for and methods of treating conditions or diseases in a subject by administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition containing an effective amount of an α-adrenergic modulator. The compounds and methods are also useful for alleviating types of pain, acute, neuropathic and chronic.
