mistaken for increasing anxiety •Akinesia: absence of movement, difficulty
initiating motion, subjective feeling of lack of motivation to move, often
mistaken for laziness or lack of interest
•Dystonia: muscle spasticity usually in the back or neck, subjectively painful,
often mistaken for agitation
•Pseudo-Parkinson's: shuffling gait, motor slowing, mask-like facial expression,
pill-rolling; tremors, muscle rigidity
•Tardive dyskinesia: involuntary abnormal muscle movement of the mouth,
tongue, face, and jaw that may progress to limbs, can be irreversible, can occur
as an acute process at the initiation of medications or as a chronic condition at
any point during treatment
