- Motor restlessness with a compelling urge to move and an inability to sit still
- Tardive dyskinesia
- Hyperkinetic movement disorder that appears with a delayed onset after prolonged use of dopamine receptor blocking agents (e.g., neuroleptics)
- Tardive dystonia and tardive akathisia
- Delayed onset of involuntary contractions of muscle groups (tardive dystonia) or motor restlessness (tardive akathisia)
