Yeah, I was under the impression Memantine *relieved* akathisia, which is why I was considering it as a treatment for Prozac-induced akathisia a couple of years ago.
The akathisia seems to come and go -- it lasts about 1-3 hours after I dose, and is quite a bit better today, so maybe it will pass with time.
I've never suffered from tardive akathisia. I can only imagine it must be hellish. I'm really sorry for you.

> g_g_g_unit, I was doing a search on google for memantine and akathisia and I stumbled upon an old post of yours from this website about memantine + SSRI akathisia. It seems you are no stranger to akathisia. So you know what torture is then. So do I. Wish I could go back in time and never take anything they gave me.
