I don't think I was taking anything that would have cause a reaction. I did ask the pharmacist when I picked up the medication and specifically asked him if it will interact with any of my current otc meds. He looked it up and said no. Funny that you mention akathisia. Paxil at times would give me this a little bit. Cymbalta gave me restless leg syndrome really bad which its supposed to get rid off. I was at 80mg of paxil at one point but I was urinating myself and wouldn't know it. I was like why does my leg feel really warm and wet. According to my psych its supposed to have the opposite effect. :(
