After two weeks on Latuda I couldn't take the akathisia anymore, if that's what it was. It seemed the most prominent in my legs but really my whole body inside and in my head it felt like i needed to run as fast as i could and scream as loud as I can but nothing helped. My sleep went to hell too no matter how many hydroxyzine and muscle relaxers i took I cold only get a few hours tops.
It's been 74 hours since my last dose, and this morning I slept better than i've slept since I started the drug. For most of the day I have felt more relaxed than I remember feeling in a long time, but maybe it's just the relief of the akathisia dwindling down.
I had some pretty intense psychosis last night (nighttime is worst), but I've dealt with it for many years. This evening I started getting little 1 second bursts of like spinning on a merry go round sensation along with micro bursts of terror or micro panic attacks, is that what a brain zap feels like?
I am done with psychoactive drugs, and this was my first experience with any kind of psychiatric drug.
