A member asked:
Can zoloft (sertraline) induce akathesia and how long will it last.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubtful: Usually this is a side effect from major tranquilizers such as thorazine (chlorpromazine) or stelazine, and very rarely, a drug you already take, risperdal, which would be my best guess as the culprit. You should improve with medications which resolve Dopamine blockade.
