There is some confusion with akathisia in that some people confuse it with tardive dyskinesia, a long-term, even permanent movement disorder that comes from dopamine blocking medications generally after
long-
term use. But akathisia is in a different category of side
effects; it is usuallly a problem during the early use of a med and it goes away quickly after stopping the med.
I have to wonder, therefore, if you are truly having akathisia of whether something else is going on.
