Severe akathisia

My mother has an abdominal pain for 9months but all the test results have been negative. We have done x-ray, ct (head and body), ultrasound, gastro. We are currently on pain relief (oxycodone 10mg twice a day and oxynorm 10mg 3-4times a day) along with regular medication (paracetamol, gabapentin 300mg at night, candesartan). We are in and out of the hospital but there are no solution at this point. Now my mother is having severe akathisia from one of the medication that was given to control the pain in emergency department. (ketamine IV, fentanyl IV, clonidine IV) With inner restlessness, abdominal pain is increasing more. My mother is in a difficult situation of two symptoms together. Currently the pain and restlessness from akathisia is relieved by lorazepam 2mg along with oxynorm 10mg. But looking at a long term, we need an alternative solution of the medication as those medication are addictive. Is there any medication to reduce and remove the symptoms of akathisia?
