Hi Fenix
>I would respond better but I am so worn and tired
No problem :)
>Horrific pain
I can imagine. I've suffered severe neuroleptic-induced acute akathisia myself, it was awful. Thankfully it disappeared within 24 hours of stopping the antipsychotic......which I only took for a couple of days. Tardive akathisia must be absolutely dreadful.
>clonazepam....
So you've only tried propranolol and clonazepam?
The treatment of tardive akathisia is very poorly researched. There are many drugs you could try. A process of trial and error is ahead.
