degen12 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Random akathisia stuff. Akathisia is a movement disorder and a form of EPS. I looked to make sure none of these had been posted before, but I could have missed one. In no particular order: Ann Clin Psychiatry. 2010 Aug;22(3):148-56. Extrapyramidal symptoms associated with antidepressants--a review of the literature and an analysis of spontaneous reports. Madhusoodanan S(1), Alexeenko L, Sanders R, Brenner R. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20680187 "EPS have been reported with different classes of antidepressants, are not dose related, and can develop with short-term or long-term use."

Hamilton MS(1), Opler LA. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1364815 "We propose a syndrome which we name Extrapyramidal-Induced Dysphoric Reactions, one extreme manifestation of which is the emergence of suicidal ideation."
