  • Title: Acute drug-induced akathisia is not associated with low serum iron status.
    Author: Sachdev P, Loneragan C.
    Journal: Psychopharmacology (Berl); 1991; 103(1):138-9. PubMed ID: 1672456.
    Abstract:
    The 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 support the postulated association between low serum iron status and acute neuroleptic-induced akathisia.
