This is probably not a sign of toxicity. However, I believe drugs which block 5ht2 receptors can cause this sort of experience, which IIRC propranolol does, although I'm not exactly sure. I am not really offering you much of an explanation, but I can tell you that I have noticed some 5ht2 antagonists that I've taken cause this effect.
Can you get a benzodiazepine or a dopaminergic drug for the akathesia instead? Beta blockers are not good to take unless you have to, IMHO, because they muck around too much with the cardiovascular system. Running on beta-blockers is no fun (is it ever?). ;)
