I take hydrocodone for my akathisia, but my neurologist prescribes it for me, not my psychiatrist. I should warn you that I spent over a year and a half trying all kinds of other medications before she tried the hydrocodone. I never mentioned it or recommended it, since I figured she would label me a drug-seeker.
I have to say that it works better than anything else I've tried, but not by much. It maybe alleviates 10-15% of symptoms. And unfortunately it has done absolutely nothing whatsoever for my depression. I take 15mg/day.
Good luck to you....I know how incredibly irritating and painful it can be.
