I think you are experiencing akathisia. Go Google that. If the dose reduction from 60mg to 40mgs didn't help lower your dose to 20mgs. I took Geodon and 20mgs was enough for me to make a positive impact on my symptoms. If that doesn't help if the akathisia is not too bad you might want to try and wait it out. I've experienced it on Abilify and it was so bad that I had to stop the drug, but I've heard from others that akathisia can resolve on it's own with time. Good luck.
