For me, akathesia doesn't quite do justice to the feeling I get from antipsychotics. It's hard to make people understand that it's the WORST feeling in the world. I have actually considered suicide when I get this feeling. It's not only restlessness, but extreme anxiety and fear, along with sedation and restlessness. Recently I tried a benzo to counteract the akathisia from Moban, and it worked wonderfully! I took Temazepam 15mg and for the rest of the day I was more functional than I have been in years.
