Akathisia is terrible. I think its one of those things that many docs deny, unless its obvious. Kind of like TD, before all the lawsuits (and even now, in the age of the atypicals, to some extent).I was gonna say opiates but that didn't work out :-(
Maybe high doses of niacinamide? Coupled with C, B-complex, maybe some taurine in there? I'm prone to akathisia and that's some of what I take (modified Orthomolecular) and it seems to keep akathisia and TD (to which I am also prone) at bay, despite ongoing Abilify use.
If melatonin works, I wonder if other antioxidants may help, too? Natural form E with mixed tocopherols (with c, of course) comes to mind, as does high dose tocotrienols.
b6 in high doses helps acute akathisia. I don't know if your akathisia will respond, but it may well be worth a shot.
