I agree that these drugs just generally mask symptoms. I don’t trust doctors anyway, and I’ve been trying to find a good psychiatrist/therapist. I am sorry that you are suffering too. The doctor actually called me today, which surprised me. He’s telling me that once I am completely off the Seroquel that the akathisia should completely go away within 7 to 14 days, and prescribed a higher dose of Klonopin until the symptoms subside. I normally only take it on an as needed basis, but since the side effect is neurologically based, it’s not something I can fight without medication. I appreciate your responding to my post, this has been absolute hell.
