title: Antidepressant-related akathisia.
abstract: Five neuroleptic-free patients exhibited syndromes that were indistinguishable from idiopathic or neuroleptic-induced akathisia in association with antidepressant administration. While antidepressant-related akathisia may be produced by any of a variety of antidepressants, the susceptibility of each individual patient to the development of this disorder may be limited to only one or a few of these agents. A considerably rarer syndrome than neuroleptic-induced akathisia, antidepressant-related akathisia appears to respond to established pharmacologic treatments for neuroleptic-induced akathisia.
