...by the way-- a lot of people, even psychiatrists, will try to treat akathisia with anticholinergics like Cogentin or Kemadrin. Though akathisia is an extrapyramidal symptom caused by antipsychotics, Cogentin doesn't always fix it the way it does with symptoms like dystonia, which responds really well to those anticholingerics. A lot of people find that fast-acting benzos, like Ativan, help a lot more with the akathisia. If your psychiatrist isn't willing to take you off the antipsychotics, you could maybe ask for some Ativan to counteract the akathisia side effects? Not the ideal solution, but it's a thought.
