agitation

Another option.

The term 'agitation' commonly occurs in side effect lists of pharmaceutical product informations, and I have always rendered it as 'innere Unruhe'.

Peer comment(s):

agree Paul Cohen : Yes, and this is another reason why I avoid reading those lists of possible side effects. It just leads to more agitation! ;-0

maybe "akathisia" if a medical tern is required

https://books.google.com.ar/books?isbn=1483192938 -
Malcolm Lader, ‎Issac Marks - 2013 - ‎Health & Fitness
The extrapyramidal effects such as restlessness and mild akathisia (evocatively termed in German, “innere Unruhe") are extremely upsetting.

nervousness

Sorry to be so late, but being medical I would go with the medical classification 2016 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code R45.0 Nervousness
