the restlessness and the feeling of hurt in my knees comes and goes......I wonder why pdoc didn't mention cogentin to me this time. probably because he was thinking most of the symptoms were manic breakthrough, and not a result of the med, I think it is clear now that it is a result of the med. since they got worse when it was upped and feel a bit better now that I went back to the regular dose. still very frustrating though. I would like to feel normal and happy, not like I am stuck in revved up mode.......with aching knees to boot. (I read severe akathisia does that.....)
