A very select few SSRIs can cause akathisia, I think, esp. in combination with other medications. Zoloft and Prozac I believe are the worst offenders although they are probably milder than AP akathisia. I would definately consult with your doctor. If its merely restlessness, a bit of propranolol does wonders and you probably can continue taking it for the time being and maybe think about discontinuing it for another SSRI or perhaps trying the recently released SSNRI Duloxetine/Cymbalta.
