Antidepressants and akatishia

Öz

Common adverse effects associated with antidepressants such as headache, nause or vomitting, sedation, insomnia and sexual dysfunction are well known; however our knowledge about the relationship between antidepressants and akathisia is limited. Akathisia is a severe side effect and it is commonly considered as a side effect of conventional antipsychotics. Recognizing akathisia is very important in terms of preventing possible suicide attempts. In this article, we aimed to present general information about akathisia and to review its relationship with antidepressant treatment.

Antidepresanlar ve akatizi

Öz

Antidepresanlarla ilişkilendirilen başağrısı, bulantı veya kusma, ajitasyon, sedasyon, uykusuzluk ve cinsel işlev bozukluğu gibi yan etkiler iyi bilinmesine karşın antidepresanlar ve akatizi arasındaki ilişkiye dair bilgilerimiz sınırlıdır. Akatizi ciddi bir yan etkidir ve genellikle tipik antipsikotiklerin yan etkisi olarak kabul edilir. Akatiziyi fark etmek olası intihar girişimlerini önlemek açısından oldukça önemlidir. Bu yazıda akatizi hakkında genel bilgi vermeyi ve antidepresan tedaviyle olan ilişkisini gözden geçirmeyi amaçladık.
