Possible Akathisia treatment! And a question about gabapentin.

PAWS Post acute withdrawals

I found out today that akathisia (feeling like you're going to crawl out of your skin) can often times be treated with the blood pressure medication Propanol.

Dosage is 10-20 mg 2-3x per day. I have gotten off 7-OH now, but I'm still trying to get off MGM-15, which is taking waaaay longer than the 7-OH. The akathisia is one of the worst feelings for me, and I just so happen to have a bottle of propranolol on hand. Going to give it a try. If it works, I'll let everyone know.

Also, does the gabapentin really work for the restless legs? I have about 300 mg worth of it and I tried 100 mg and it didn't really seem to do much except make me feel kind of weird and disconnected from myself. I ended up having to hang my head and take a little crumb of the MGM-15 tab to be able to sleep. Should I dose higher?
