Abstract
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.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
