I was hospitalized with akathesia after having surgery (so we can only guess what drug caused it). I can't take propanolol so they used a combination of gabapentin and cogentin and it went away really quickly. I left the hospital on a pretty high dose of gabapentin and had a lot of side effects but was able to lower it within a few weeks and it still was effective at the lower dose.
