Kerry - You should have this checked (with a simple test) by a doctor to determine if this muscle stiffness is a dystonia (spasms) or extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS). With the motor restlesslness you are experiencing, I would "guess" it is EPS. There are a number of anticholinergics to counteract this: benztropine (Cogentin™), trihexyphenidyl (Artane™), procyclidine (Kemadrin™), ethopropazine (Parsitan™), orphenadrine (Disipal™), and biperiden (Akineton™) that are available in Canada. They also are available in generic forms.
The most commonly use ones are Cogentin™ and Artane™. Doses are highly individualized. See your doc to find out what is causing the side effect and what his choice of anticholinergic woulod be.
Hope this helps - Cam
