I wonder if Remeron would completely relieve the akathisia and I also wonder if the Abilify would do anything for the daytime sedation caused by Remeron... interesting combo.I am curious to know what part of Remeron's effect was beneficial for akathisia. I have a feeling it may just have been the sedation caused by the histamine blockade. However, if it turns out that Remeron is a universal antidote for akathisia, that would be very useful. I could not tolerate 150mg of Zoloft due to akathisia-like side effects; I wonder if I would be able to tolerate that amount in combination with Remeron.
