>On another note, I'm not sure how I feel about the increasing tendency of using the term akathisia to refer to nasty restless feelings created by non-antipsychotic psych meds, esp. SSRIs and suchlike.
Just wanted to clarify. Some people have VERY severe reactions to SSRIs, which may include restlessness. What I meant is that it may not be biochemically the same as AP akathisia. The course of the condition may be different, pt experience may be different and the tx may be different.
Thanks.
