> Do you have a psych you can see?Hi ed,
No, I don't have a psychiatrist at the moment. I ended up seeing my GP, though it was a little bizarre. I explained what was going on, and he's familiar with akathisia .. however, he commented that I didn't look very restless at the time. I explained I had taken 20mg of propanolol, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to drive there.
Then he just kept looking at me and remarking how I didn't look very restless, and I kept saying "but I took the propranolol". Maybe he thought I was drug-seeking .. I have no idea. Finally, he relented and prescribed Cogentin (0.5mg once a day).
So I'll see how that goes, but it confirmed it's probably time for a new GP.
