This keeps getting worse with time. I landed in the hospital with akathesia a few years ago because outpatient I was on 850 mgs of Seroquel, 10 mg of Zyprexa, a ton of hydroxyzine, 4 mg of klonopin, and something else and it wasn't touching me.
I am currently still shocked every day when I wake up and realize I took 1500 mg of Seroquel the night before and am not knocked out at all.
My MAOI is a pretty serious stimulant but I've not even been on it or on very little through the worst of this round and I've still been fighting off the sedatives (without trying. I used to have someone who when I would say fighting off took it to mean I really was fighting it. Not at all).
It is a little scary at times; I wonder sometimes if a point will come that I just never sleep and they can't help it. Sleeping pills are pointless. I'm sure my dr always has something up her sleeve in case but I've managed to stay awake despite enough meds to make an elephant sleep so I wonder....I am terrified some day they will say I have to stop the MAOI and that has been the best drug for me in most ways; stopping would be awful.
