How to recover from akathisia?
Patient: Daughter has akathesia caused by reglan and compozine.  This has been on going for one month.  it has caused disassociation, anxiety, memory loss, tremors, out bursts of anger.  looking for help on how to treat her.  quality of life poor, never had issues until those meds were given. Doctor: Hi,Thanks for choosing Healthcaremagic.I have read your query carefully  and understood that your daughter had taken Reglan (Metoclopramide) and Compazine (Prochlorperazine) (??Dose and duration) and now she is having symptoms suggestive of akathisia since last one month. I would like to let you know that both the drugs are dopamine antagonist and are commonly used for nausea and vomiting. And akathisia is a rare side effect of both of them. It can be treated with B-blockers (like propranolol 20-40mg/day) and a benzodiazepine (like clonazepam 0.5-1mg/day).But the patient needs to be evaluated by a psychiatrist before starting those medications to identify the cause for its onset in the patient and the cause for its prolonged duration of side effect.Hope I answered your query, let me know if you need any further information.RegardsDR.
