CEK, I hope you have some luck with the Provigil if that's what you end up on. I might read up on that one too. I have to say I'm afraid any stimulant might reset my brain such that I end up worse than before. I hope Provigil is different in that regard.
I don't have the akathisia at the moment but so many things caused it for me in the past that I am afraid of trying new things now. I also had it in the arms (like you) and I think that particular episode was from Rivortril withdrawal.
I got, also, an occulogyric crisis from maxolon so I just avoid all phenothiazines now from fear of dopamine deficiency type side effects.
I don't think I'll try going back on any of the meds that could possibly cause the akathisia side effects or dyskinesia side effects. I'm not prepared to take the risk that they won't go away.
Good luck
