Restlessness and Fidgeting
What is Restlessness and Fidgeting?

An important type of restlessness is persistent, involuntary movement. This is known as akathisia, and can be a side effect of many medications. Confusingly for all concerned, persistent restlessness can be a side effect of medications used to treat restlessness, especially antipsychotics. Because of this, it is important to be especially careful when increased restlessness follows the start of a new medication.

Symptoms of Restlessness:

Tendency to constantly fidget and doodle
Trouble sitting still in one place for long periods of time
Inability to think unless in motion
Feeling extremely restless for no specific reason
Feeling anxious and nervous for no specific reason
