Akathisia restless: Restlessness might have occurred before use of anti-psychotics as being part of the syndrome of mental disease, along with anxiety, high state of alertness, hi iritability.. Akathisia is when muscles twitch and legs just want to move beyond your own will, making you want to keep on walking or shaking legs.
