Sometimes anti-psychotics can cause anxiety. I think you should definitely tell your pdoc about this.

Oh god, I totally understand that! It gives me really bad Akathisia as well. It got so bad I went to the ER. One of the weirdest things about that was (as oddly as this sounds) my brain was just as restless as the rest of me, and it's not like your brain can move around to make it feel at least the slightest bit better

My pdoc didn't want me off of it since I was doing well so I take Benztropine.
Atypical is right. Sometimes AP meds can trigger stuff like that. It all depends on the med and the person. Kind of interesting since Saphris works as a mood stabilizer as well. But I've found psymeds to do weird things at times so I guess it doesn't shock me.
Maybe give yourself a little time? Either way I'd keep a good eye on your mental health. I generally say to most people that it's a good idea to tell your pdoc everything that's going on. So you might want to consider talking to him.
