1 Why You Need Anti-Inflammatory Foods. Inflammation is your immune system's reaction to irritation, injury, or infection. It's a normal response (and actually a good thing), and it's a natural part of healing. But it's possible that chronic inflammation could have a negative impact on your body and your health.
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.
Precise assessment of akathisia is problematic, as it is difficult to differentiate from a multitude of disorders with similar symptoms. In a study of movement disorders induced by neuroleptics, akathisia was found in only 26% of patients originally diagnosed with akathisia. The primary distinguishing features of akathisia in comparison with other syndromes are primarily subjective characteristics, such as the feeling of inner restlessness.
