I need help. About a month ago I couldn't stand up straight. I was rigid and couldn't move very well. It was as if gravity was bearing down on half my body. Furthermore, I've noticed over the weeks that my hands have been a bit shaky. Today they are shakier than normal followed by my legs feeling as if I should move them. They won't relax even when flat footed. It's discomforting.

Is this just akathasia again? Could Lithium or Lamictal cause it? I've been on Geodon for nearly a year and it hasn't triggered akathasia. It strikes me as odd that a mood stabilizer would cause it... The rigidity sounds like the beginning stages of Parkinson's disease. I told my psychiatrist and he had nothing to say. I see him on the 31st so Ill get a definitve answer then. If it gets worse I have Cogentin here from back in the day when I was on Risperdal. I had to use it when I was briefly put on Prozac.

What does this sound like?
