Has anybody experienced akasthesia from desvenlafaxine (pristiq)? Do ssri's & snri's often cause akasthesia?

I should point out I had this "akasthesia" somewhat before starting the pristiq it just intensified it. I'm not sure if it was the pristiq causing akasthesia or pristiq setting off a mixed type episode with motor restlessness & anxiety.

I had akathisia from antipsychotic meds, but not from antidepressants. I take benztrop (an antiparkinson med) to keep the akathisia away.

SNRIs have norepinephrine which I think could cause that.
