@Deedoherty2 @AkathisiaRx @akathisiaalli "A #paradoxical reaction or paradoxical effect is an effect of medical treatment, usually a drug, opposite to the effect which would normally be expected. An example of a paradoxical reaction is #suicidalideation caused by #antidepressants." @medsconsult bmj.com/content/366/bm…
