Oh Lynn,
YES! That is how I felt on Lexapro- it caused the worst akathasia, it was horrific. I didn't think I'd survive (and didn't even want to).
Benzo helped me; I had to stay on one for about a month just to make it until the Lexapro was out of my system.
I did weird things will experiencing akathasia-I slept with my feet between my couch cushions so I could have pressure on my body- for some weird reason that helped me.
I also rocked back and forth a lot on the floor- like it was the only way I could comfort myself. Also... heavy blankets on my body to bring "weight."
It was WEIRD! It was a nightmare. I did this for nearly 6 weeks.
I couldn't sleep or eat.
I pray you feel better soon.
