Acute drug-induced akathisia is not associated with low serum iron status
Psychopharmacology, 1991The iron status of 50 consecutively admitted psychiatric patients due to be started on neuroleptic medication was examined. Fifteen of the patients developed akathisia in the 2 weeks of follow-up. The patients did not differ significantly from the 35 non-akathisic patients in serum iron and transferrin levels and haemoglobin values. The findings do not

Akathisia (restlessness and characteristic movements of the legs) is one of the most disagreeable extrapyramidal side effects and often causes non-compliance. Dopamine blocking agents such as antipsychotics and antiemetics, may induce akathisia. Particular care must be taken to distinguish akathisia from psychotic agitation and restless legs.

Complicating Factors in the Analysis of Acute Drug-Induced Akathisia
Archives of General Psychiatry, 1995The detailed and interesting report of Sachdev and Kruk 1 in the December 1994 issue of theArchivesitemizes many of the complexities involved in the assessment of acute neuroleptic-induced akathisia. There are several issues, however, that merit comment.

Lower limb flexor reflex: Comparisons between drug-induced akathisia and restless legs syndrome
Neuroscience Letters, 2017Akathisia is characterized by restlessness and crawling sensations similar to restless legs syndrome (RLS). Long latency flexor reflex (LLFR) which has helped to advance RLS pathophysiology has never been investigated in akathisia. Due to the clinical commonalities of akathisia and RLS, we investigated the behavior of LLFR in patients with akathisia ...

Human Psychopharmacology: Clinical and Experimental, 2004
The Liverpool University Neuroleptic Side-Effect Rating Scale (LUNSERS) was examined for its usefulness as a subjective measure of drug-induced parkinsonism and akathisia. Eighty-three subjects were assessed using the LUNSERS, the Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS) and the Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS), before and after a 6-week treatment with olanzapine.

A rating scale for acute drug-induced akathisia: development, reliability, and validity
Biological Psychiatry, 1994This paper describes the process of developing a new rating scale for acute neuroleptic-induced akathisia. Previously reported clinical characteristics of akathisia were used to construct the initial version of the scale. This was administered to 100 consecutively admitted psychiatric patients treated with neuroleptic medication.

Research diagnostic criteria for drug-induced akathisia: conceptualization, rationale and proposal
Psychopharmacology, 1994This paper argues for consistency in the conceptualization and definition of drug-induced akathisia (DIA), something found lacking in published research reports. It suggests the adoption of a common set of provisional categories with operationally defined diagnostic criteria.

Risperidone-Induced Drug-Induced Parkinsonism with Akathisia: A Clinical Case Report
International Journal of Clinical Drug Practice & PharmacotherapyDrug-induced parkinsonism is a common extrapyramidal adverse effect associated with dopamine receptor-blocking agents. It clinically mimics Parkinson’s disease and is primarily characterized by bradykinesia and rigidity, while tremor and gait instability are less prominent.
