Sometimes, its best to discontinue. Akathisia can be extremely upsetting. Suppressing it is an option, if your doc thinks that's the way to go. A benzodiazepine and/or propranolol can do the trick, usually.

I seem to recall reading about Remeron being useful in Abilify-induced akathisia. Gabapentin has also been used. Massive doses of B6 have also been used in akathisia, to good effect.

There --is-- tardive akathisia, so do be aware of that. I think (hope) its rare. I seem to recall reading that its usually associated with tardive dyskinesia, though I may be wrong about that.

Good luck, and please keep us all posted, whatever you and your doctor decide to do.
