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. 59/6
