THRESHOLDS FOR DRUG-INDUCED AKATHISIA

American Journal of Psychiatry, 1961
The findings indicate that low-dose akathisia results from an individual's specific sensitivity to a specific molecular configuration. There is a population with a low threshold for the disorder. Thresholds are determined by the spectrum of individual sensitivities for specific molecular configurations, administered in a specified dosage schedule.
