Congratulations. Informing people of the truth - that inducing akathisia with neuroleptics is a form torture - and it really is - is a good step in bringing a solution.

Personally the only solution I found to stopping akathisia - and I would not pretend it is a solution for everyone - was high dose B6 pyridoxal-phosphate. On two occasions it has brought it to a halt with 100mg starting with 25mg going up every few hours. Pyridoxal-phosphate along with glutamate decarboxylase is required to convert glutamate to GABA.
