Hi there,
Check out Angie's akathesia blog. It has a really good description of the horror of this symptom. At least for me, terror is part of it for sure and mainly inner restlessness that is physically painful. A feeling that I need to move and pace and difficulty sitting still. It is truly AWFUL. I am sorry for your suffering. Akathesia is a medical emergency bc it is so god awful so make sure you have people around you supporting you through this horror and telling you it will pass. That is what Bliss Johns has said to me....and Angie's blog. That even for difficult cases, this symptom has passed for everyone. I hope you feel better really soon.

man oh man does this resonate. I'm currently down to almost 2mg in a micro taper off of Valium. I've had a pretty good taper so far but before I switched from aplrazolam, I did and felt so many of the things you feel/felt. My inter dose withdrawals gave me the dreaded A-word, and I pray it never returns. I too spent countless hours on BB and found myself jealous of anyone who could manage to crack a sincere smile. Valium has been kinder to me so far, but I relate so much to you.

I am glad to hear you are getting through it, albeit painfully. Let me know if you ever want to talk. I have a little Skype group going with some people - I'd also just love to talk to you in general. Keep going. I'm with you in spirit.
