Yes. Unfortunately it doesn't work as well as I'd like. Propranolol seems to be far more effective. Like without it I would not be able to sit and type coherently like I can right now. Akathisia is a nasty little devil. I've had it before, thankfully it's not nearly on the level it was last time. Right now it's manageable, going to keep it that way and call my doctor to tinker with my meds since it's a horrible idea to do that yourself(voice of experience here).
