>I've seen people say that Benadryl actually exacerbates their RLS/akathisia .. would that be due to its SSRI properties and also dose dependent?
I think it is very dose dependent, and possibly due to anticholinergic toxicity. It is a very bad idea to exceed the recommended dose (as a lot of people do). If you'd like to try it, I'd initially take only 12.5mg doses during the day and 25mg at night. You can easily increase if needed, but avoid single doses higher than 25mg during the day, and 50mg at night. They will make you feel weird, and probably worse.
