Metoclopramide is widely used to treat these symptoms but may cause extrapyramidal side effects, including akathisia. Akathisia is characterized by inner\u2010restlessness and psychomotor agitation, which can be difficult to distinguish from perinatal anxiety disorders due to symptom overlap. Reports of metoclopramide\u2010induced akathisia during pregnancy are limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report a case of metoclopramide\u2010induced akathisia in a pregnant woman at 33\u2009weeks of gestation with nausea and vomiting. She had been taking dextromethorphan for a COVID\u201019\u2010related cough prior to admission. She was hospitalized for threatened preterm labor with abdominal tightness, and intravenous bolus infusions of metoclopramide were initiated for nausea, vomiting, and appetite loss. Shortly thereafter, she developed limb tremors and insomnia, followed by severe inner restlessness and psychomotor agitation. Suspecting anxiety disorders or akathisia, metoclopramide was discontinued and diazepam was started. Her symptoms improved within 3\u2009days, with no recurrence after discontinuation of diazepam. Based on the clinical course and temporal relationship with metoclopramide administration, metoclopramide\u2010induced akathisia was considered the most likely diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case suggests that metoclopramide\u2010induced akathisia can occur during pregnancy and may be misdiagnosed as a perinatal anxiety disorder. Rapid intravenous bolus administration is a known risk factor for metoclopramide\u2010induced akathisia and may have increased the risk in this patient. In addition, a possible pharmacological interaction between metoclopramide and dextromethorphan, including a potential CYP2D6\u2010related pharmacokinetic effect and central dopaminergic pharmacodynamic effect, may have contributed to akathisia. Greater awareness of this adverse effect may facilitate early recognition and appropriate management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/npr2.70122","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,14]],"date-time":"2026-04-14T09:42:47Z","timestamp":1776159767000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Akathisia Induced by Metoclopramide in a Pregnant Woman With Nausea and Vomiting: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Ryohei","family":"Nakamura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry Yamagata University School of Medicine  Yamagata Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keisuke","family":"Noto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry Yamagata University School of Medicine  Yamagata Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toshinori","family":"Shirata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry Yamagata University School of Medicine  Yamagata Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yusuke","family":"Saito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry Yamagata University School of Medicine  Yamagata Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isao","family":"Takehara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology Yamagata University School of Medicine  Yamagata Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Satoru","family":"Nagase","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology Yamagata University School of Medicine  Yamagata Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akihito","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry Yamagata University School of Medicine  Yamagata Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2016.14337"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.phrs.2006.12.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/gkad976"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00003088-198308060-00003"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/emj.2010.094367"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bcp.13630"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02245462"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","volume-title":"Kaplan and Sadock's Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry","author":"Sadock B.
