I sympathize -- when I first went on Remeron, it gave me the worst akathisia I have ever experienced; I was closer to suicide than my depression has ever made me. The classic remedies for anti-psychotic med. induced akathisia such as cogentin or procyclidine didn't help at all. Ropinirole (Requip, Ropark, Adartrel) helped me greatly later on and has some AD adjuvant properties as well.
