We saw the pdoc on Saturday and discussed the "akathisia" and the supplements. The pdoc wasn't sure it was really akathisia, but it might be. He's okay with trying the NAC and B6. He also gave us a prescription for something to help with akathisia.

I'm beginning to doubt the akathisia theory because he's having a couple of other issues along with the akathisia/anxiety/panic/whatever.

He says when he has these attacks his visual perception changes. Things appear sharper, especially faces. He also says letters and numbers leap out at him and he feels like they're trying to give him some sort of message. He hears more voices and the voices "make sense." Apparently the fact that the voices make sense is important. He says that if he makes them say nonsense it's easier not to believe in them. (I pointed out to him that it's interesting that he can "make" the voices say things.)

So... akathisia? Maybe not.
