1 Why You Need Anti-Inflammatory Foods. Inflammation is your immune system's reaction to irritation, injury, or infection.

Akathisia typically occurs within a few days of starting a new medication, or within a few days of the dosage being increased. In Jill's case, the akathisia occurred two months after taking Cipro. Thus, some might conclude that Cipro could not be the cause.
