Propranolol for Akathisia Causing Moodswings

So I’ve taken Propranolol for the past week or two, to fight my worst enemy, Clozapine induced Akathisia. 10mg of Propranolol was too little, 15mg seems to be just right.

But I’m noticing that I’m getting moodswings, negative emotions are so much stronger. I can’t believe this, I thought I’d found a solid longterm solution.

Can anyone recommend any other meds for treatment of akathisia?

Is there workarounds for Propranolol, like you know it’s screwing with your emotions so you just try and brush it off?

Sorry I always just post questions about meds, I want to contribute to other threads too in the future.

Green tea helps. Choose pure green version with no flavour.

Propranolol is a beta blocker, it can mess with metabolism, heart rate, sleep etc so not a long term solution.
