  • Title: Akathisia: a review and case report following paroxetine treatment.
    Author: Baldassano CF, Truman CJ, Nierenberg A, Ghaemi SN, Sachs GS.
    Journal: Compr Psychiatry; 1996; 37(2):122-4. PubMed ID: 8654061.
    Abstract:
    Although akathisia is most commonly associated with neuroleptic medication, few cases of paroxetine-induced akathisia have been reported. A review of the authors' charts (C.F.B., A.N., S.N.G., and G.S.S.) was conducted to determine an estimated incidence for paroxetine-induced akathisia. Three cases of akathisia were reported in 67 patients treated with paroxetine. A case of akathisia secondary to paroxetine in an 18-year-old female is presented. Given the potential untoward effects of this syndrome, early diagnosis is essential. Clinical presentations and differential diagnoses are discussed.
