Side effects from Geodon

Has anyone had akasthesia while on Geodon?  I've felt very restless lately, and I've had a hard tiime sitting still.  My doctor lowered my dose, and hopefully that will help.  In the meantime, I'm struggling with this problem.

most AP's do this, i have it from seroquel. ILADVOCATE mentioned a helping pill to me: Cogentin, Artane, Benadryl, beta blockers and benzos are sometimes used

I think I might of, when I was on the highest recommended daily dose, I couldn't help but pace quickly if I was standing or rock back and forth if I was sitting down.  Sounds like akathesia to me but I didn't ask if it was so I can't say for sure.

I had akathesia from all the current antipsychotics, Geodon included. The best thing to do is ask your psychiatrist for a side effect pill that can help mitigate this.
