> Yeah. It started two days ago when you stopped clonazepam completely, so maybe it's akathisia from clonazepam withdrawal. It would be interesting to hear what your doctor thinks, hopefully he/she is a good one.

>Hmm, I did end up reinstating clonazepam the night I wrote this .. it eased the physical anxiety, but I was still feeling mildly restless. Two days later and it seems to be doing very little, so maybe the Memantine is causing akathisia (I'm not particularly anxious, but I am quite jittery and internally restless, and I also feel like I'm gently biting on my tongue a lot of the time).
Do you have any idea if the akathisia is meant to be a temporary side-effect, neuroscience? Overall 5mg is proving quite a lot more tolerable than the higher doses, so I'd be curious to see if it does anything over time, but akathisia would be a deal-breaker.
