> EricI understand that ritanserin has been found effective for treating akathisia. That was not my question. Unfortunately, ritanserin is not available for human consumption. The patent expired long ago, and it is used only for lab experiments. Therefore, other agents must be considered. Cyproheptadine and low-dose mirtazapine seem to be good alternatives.
