Yeah, I've had this happen to me several times, usually when a dose goes up or down or when stopping a med. I don't know what to call it. It does fit descriptions of akathisia. It also fits descriptions of certain types of mania.
I think these kinds of things are more prone to happen when an antipsychotic is involved. That is just pure opinion though. I never had those kinds of problems until after being on low dose zyprexa for a few years.
Benzos kind of dampen it down but not completely.
For me depakote 500mg extended release nailed it in about 24 hours.
