Hi,
I'd just like to say that the worst that I have ever felt in my life was when I took chlorpromazine. It was torture in its purest form. Why is it that akathisia is so underated, textbooks often make it sound so mild and insignificant. I saw an article describing the effects of the AP droperidol in healthy psychologists and psychiatrists. After being given 5mg, one of them had to be admitted to a psych ward as an emergency because of profound distress and suicidal ideation. I think it could be beneficial for all psychiatrists who underate akathisia to be given a 10mg shot of Haldol so that they could experience the fun for themselves!
