I guess different people define things differently, but for me, akathisia is a bit of a different animal from agitation. It's difficult to describe the differences, but I will say that I can be perfectly stable with zero anxiety and have akathisia. That's not the case with agitation, for me.

— I think akathesia is better described as restlessness. Once I had taken my pill w dinner, I really felt I had to get out of the house. The folks at Walmart knew me quite well!
