Did the akathisia start when Seroquel was added to the mix, or, when Geodon was the sole AP? I am asking because for me, Seroquel induced akathisia, as did Zyprexa at higher doses OR Zyprexa in combination with Geodon, but not Geodon alone. As far as I know from talking to various pdocs, sometimes a combo induces effects that individual drugs do not induce by themselves.
