Akathisia is a syndrome characterized by unpleasant sensations of inner restlessness that manifests itself with an inability to sit still or remain motionless. It can be a side effect of medications, mainly neuroleptic antipsychotics.
Worth bringing up to your pdoc.

Thanks, Anika! This makes sense because this is exactly what I am feeling. It is very uncomfortable. I'm willing to take more meds in this case. My son is on this med, too, and I hope he's not feeling like this because he probably would know how to verbalize it.
