What I'm talking about isn't motor restlessness, although there's that, too, but more of a mental restlessness. So I'm not really worried about tardive dyskinesia or akathisia due to my medications at this time. I suffer from movement disorders (restless leg syndrome and some other sleep related movement weirdness), but those also run in my family. I have found gabapentin to be quite effective in ameliorating the effects of the motor restlessness caused by my medications. It's the psychological agitation that's causing me distress at this time.
