I actually took a tiny dose of Mirtazapine (around 1.5mg) last night and the akathisia was considerably reduced, though replaced by a mild stimulation that wasn't unpleasant but made me anxious/restless in a different fashion.
I guess it suggests that even at that low dose the drug was psychoactive (anything about 1.5mg makes me extremely irritable to the point of rage).
I didn't have a chance to try the Benadryl yet .. I had bought a couple of supplements (Vitamin E and P5P) hoping they would help, but stupidly overlooked the fact that the Vitamin E caps are 40iu (compared to the ~400IU recommended for akathisia) and the P5p made me more anxious.
ed, wouldn't taking Benadryl several times a day eventually produce some kind of rebound akathisia anyway once it's stopped?
