If she were in my position she'd want to know and if God forbid her son's were in this situation she would be getting them into the best care available.
I hate this, why can't my brain function better.
Punky, what helps with u if ur having paranoia or anxiety? |
I know what you mean. When I first got akathisia nobody told me that that's what it was, I had to figure it out on my own. It was so bad that when I'd type it come out in meaningless gibberish because my hands couldn't sit still long enough to type out words correctly, it was ****ing awful. It sounds like you get akathisia a lot. The insomnia you keep describing sounds like an akathisia symptom to me since you always talk about it when you're starting on new meds like latuda for instance.
It always seems like the meds that cause the least weight gain cause more akathisia and crap. Totally sucks.
