Özet

Akathisia is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary movements resulting in discomfort and restlessness. Drug-induced akathisia is often seen with antidopaminergic antipsychotics but sometimes can be seen with other drugs. The four subtypes of akathisia are: acute, chronic, tardive and deprivation. In this paper, we discuss two discrete patients, who were given venlafaxine and duloxetine for treatment of depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder and thereafter developed acute akathisia.
