BethRags, please do share your experiences with it if you try it. Propranolol did nothing for my past akathisia either (I do still take it, but for something else). Cogentin gave me severe constipation. Luckily, I no longer have akathisia. I was taken off those meds. It was particularly horrible when I got it on Geodon. I hope I never get it again, but am curious about other possible akathisia meds.

Apparently Amantadine is a medication used for Parkinson's, but is also used for akathisia, movement disorder/tremor, and for the fatigue of multiple sclerosis and chronic fatigue syndrome. It would be really great if the med helps offset the fatigue that is a side effect of psych meds.

I'll definitely share my experiences with Amantadine.
