Akathisia is an often misdiagnosed side-effect, which leads to non-compliance and sometimes even exacerbation of psychosis or suicidal behaviour. In fact, little is known about the differences between antipsychotic drugs in clinical practice, since only as few as 20% of patients may be eligible for studies comparing antipsychotic medications with each other. The aim of this study was to find out if the use of conventional antipsychotics is associated with an increased risk of akathisia (compared with atypical antipsychotics) even when low doses of conventional antipsychotics are used. The Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale was used to evaluate akathisia in 100 outpatients on antipsychotic medication. Conventional antipsychotics were associated with an increased risk of akathisia compared with atypical antipsychotics, although the chlorpromazine equivalent doses of conventional antipsychotics were lower than those of the atypicals. An additional akathisia-provoking effect of SSRIs could not be ruled out. The results suggest favouring atypical antipsychotic medication in patients who may easily develop akathisia.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":2.1972245773362196,"endowment":2.1972245773362196,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"17454730","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2079048953","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":0.7759,"citation_percentile":0.70389202,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2012,"count":1},{"year":2015,"count":1},{"year":2026,"count":1}],"oa_status":"closed","license":null,"oa_locations":[{"url":"http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/08039480701226146","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/08039480701226146","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17454730","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Schizophrenia research and treatment","Neurotransmitter Receptor Influence on Behavior","Parkinson's Disease Mechanisms and Treatments","Adult","Akathisia, Drug-Induced","Antipsychotic Agents","Female","Finland","Humans","Male","Middle Aged","Prevalence","Risk Factors","Schizophrenia","Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors"],"mesh_terms":["Adult","Female","Finland","Humans","Male","Middle Aged","Risk Factors","Schizophrenia","Antipsychotic Agents","Prevalence","Akathisia, Drug-Induced","Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors"],"keywords":["Akathisia","Antipsychotic","Psychiatry","Psychosis","Medicine","Exacerbation","Psychology","Population","Schizophrenia (object-oriented programming)","Internal medicine"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Good health and well-being"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-03T12:29:38.781585Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
