Clonidine in neuroleptic-induced akathisia
LA Adler, B Angrist, E Peselow, J Reitano and J Rotrosen
Six hospitalized patients with neuroleptic-induced akathisia were treated
with clonidine under single-blind conditions. Akathisia and anxiety at
maximum clonidine dose were significantly lower than at baseline, although
it was difficult to differentiate specific therapeutic effects from
sedation.
