> >Adding Klonopin might be helpful. I have difficulty believing that you are experiencing true akathisia. I think this word has been overused here. Can you explain what exactly happens at the higher dosages of Nardil? Anxiety? Irritability? Insomnia? Racing thoughts? Restlessness?
> Restlessness. I feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin. I can't lie still when I try to lie down. I have to get up and move. It's not quite jitteriness, like I used to get when I took some kind of adrenaline-based med for childhood asthma. It's just a need to move. It's horrible. No racing thoughts. Some anxiety that I won't get to settle down and sleep or relax, but that's related to the physical feeling more than anything else. No irritability. The insomnia is somewhat related, but also occurs without the restlessness.
That sure sounds like akathisia to me.:-(
Have you tried Parnate?
