I actually started Sam-E after my first bout of extreme anxiety, and it seemed to help. I'm thinking now that what I'm feeling is actually a form of akathisia. It's not restless leg syndrome, which i've had before, but lots of the symptoms fit with akathisia. I did go up from 5mg to 10mg a few weeks ago on my abilify, and who knows how it works with an MAOI, so i'm thinking it might be a good idea to go back down and see if the akathisia remits. Although I'm getting good response otherwise.
Has anyone been successful treating akathisia with beta blockers or anything else? Xanax doesn't help all that much and mostly just puts me to sleep.
