my former shrink told me that this sort of thing happens more at the lower, more stimulating doses. 10mgs is, I think, still somewhat stimulating, but its in the 10-15mgs/day target range for bipolar and schizophrenia, so I imagine its more tranquilizing (?). I'd just try the 10mgs and see how it goes. Scott gave you a good idea of what akathisia is like. Some docs treat the akathisia and keep the medication; others drop the medication in favor of another medication.
I take 30mgs/day and don't have that problem. Of course, 30mgs/day is more an antipsychotic/anti-manic dose.
Good luck!
