I think it best to talk to your doc about your symptoms. I have a lot of experience with akathisia, if that is what you are experiencing, but would rather not declare how you might react.
One thing I'll write is that I have never personally heard of akathisia turning into Tardive Dyskinesia. Not that a person can't eventually develop TD, but I am not aware of akathisia increasing the risk of it. You might want to ask your doc. I know they are both Extrapyramidal symptoms, but I have never had akathisia turn into anything else for me. I did briefly have a dystonic reaction (but from a med called thiothixene) but that med didn't cause me akathisia. Dystonia is also an EPS. No EPS was ever permanent for me. I have heard some can be, but I don't think that's common at all. That is likely a worst case scenario.
