How do you know that you had akathisia rather than anxiety?
If you have anxiety, the use of a benzodiazepine for a short time can act as a bridge to mitigate transient SSRI startup anxiety.
If you have SSRI-induced akathisia, you can use cyproheptadine or low-dose mirtazapine, perhaps in combination with propranolol.
You may have abandoned sertraline prematurely because you had not considered treating the side effects.
