Gawd yes. It is awful, isn't it? I'm on cogentin now. That seems to help. Benadryl didn't help much but put me to sleep. I already took klonipin and had to increase the dose. I tried Propanolol (even tho my doc said it wouldn't work) and it didn't work. Cogentin helps but dries out my mouth completely. I only take one-quarter 15mg tablet every other day to reduce the akathesia. It seems to get worse for several weeks then plateau...I've seen no evidence in my own experience that akathesia improves on its own.
