Restlessness

Dear PWPs,

Occasionally I get restless, ansty sensations, especially in my
hands and legs. I've read it's a drug side-effect that goes by the
medical name of akathesia. (Sounds like the name of a character in a
Sholokhov novel).  When I feel this way I have trouble sitting
still. I seem to get this effect toward the end of my med doses,
which are the usual (eldepryl, sinemet CR and permax).  I understand
there may be another pill you can take for this condition. (And
for what ever side effects that causes, still another?) Anyone dealt
with this with any success?

Phil T.
