I had akathisia due to Halidol. I had it for months as they wouldn't take me off the halidol or switch and I didn't know enough at the time. They gave me Cogentin (a benzo) but it would have taken 10 times the dose they let me take to actually help it. I must have walked a thousand miles in 12 months. It was horrible. I didn't know SSRI's could cause it though only AAP's and AP's.
