  • Title: Tardive akathisia due to sulpiride.
    Author: López de Munain A, Poza JJ, Gorospe A, Arce A, Martí Massó JF.
    Journal: Clin Neuropharmacol; 1994 Oct; 17(5):481-3. PubMed ID: 9316700.
    Abstract:
    A 56 year-old woman who suffered from parkinsonism, oro-lingual dyskinesia (OLD) and tardive akathisia (TA) due to sulpiride is reported. OLD and TA appeared after sulpiride withdrawal. The patient was successfully treated with tetrabenazine even a mild parkinsonism was present. TA seems to be related with an apparent dopaminergic hyperactivity and it has to be differentiated of other neuroleptic-induced movement disorders such as restless legs syndrome in order of an appropriate treatment. Sulpiride has the same possible side effects than classic neuroleptics.
