We recently found that ~1 in 3 patients prescribed LAIs are adherent in the real-world setting. Too low but still better than oral agents 🤔 #psychiatry #research #pharmacist #schizophrenia #bipolar #antipsychotic #adherence https://t.co/Vrjr2uq5sD

@NickWebb30 @akathisiaalli @HighPointU Very short, even for the best-studied treatments: propranolol (controlled trials lasted 48 hours to 3 months) and mirtazapine (controlled trials lasted 5-14 days, case reports up to 3 months) ☹️

@akathisiaalli @HighPointU Great question- the study in the review tested 1200 mg/day of B6 for only 5 days. Neurotoxicity with B6 has been reported with doses from 50-600 mg/day in people who have been taking it over months-years. The good news is that nerve symptoms seem to resolve upon stopping B6!

Check out this new research published with my colleagues from Indy. We found that akathisia was more likely to occur in younger hospitalized patients taking DRBAs! https://t.co/arCqEZY5so @JCPjrnl_online @CHNw @HighPointU #medicine #science #pharmacy #mentalhealth #psychiatry
