Tried benedryl? The stuff should be a nice double-whammy for the 
condition: an anticholinergic and an antihistaminic effect: one reduces 
motion somewhat, the other causes slight sedation.
(generic diphenhydramine)

diphenhydramine is actually of minimal use in treating parkinsonism, and 
for treatment of side effects of neuroleptic medication's side effects, 
although typically stronger agents are used (dopamine agonists for 
parkinsons, anticholinergics like benztropine for the side effects of 
neuroleptics)
