    • Akathisia is one of the most prevalent and distressing adverse effects associated with antipsychotic drug treatment. Propranolol, a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist, is currently considered a first-line treatment for antipsychotic-induced akathisia (AIA). Surprisingly, the evidence for its anti-akathisia effect is modest. Propranolol’s side effects (e.g. orthostatic hypotension, bradycardia), contraindications (e.g. asthma) and increased complexity in titration schedules limit… CONTINUE READING
