Looks as if you have some long term sleep issues. Oh akathesia, I got that when I overdosed on quetiapine was absolutely excruciating. Felt like someone was twisting my spine I couldn't stay still don't know how to explain it. It goes to your very bones.
Your doctor will make some changes for you fingers crossed. I know someone who didn't like risperidone as it made her sleep too much. Its not good that it dampens your mood. Maybe ask to increase something else, to help your mood. Abilify would prob just make you restless I'm guessing. I'm not qualified to help I'm afraid. You just have to hang I there.
I remember when they took me off quetiapine to a risperidone injection. They started respiridone at smallest dose and wouldn't change it for a month then two weeks then another two weeks and another so for three months I could barely sleep I had to rely on sleeping tablets that were nowhere near strong enough for me. I was up at 4am. I lay awake the whole night just shattered. worst time of my entire life. I went up on the roof of the hospital and the doctor added mirtazapine. Then they added venlafaxine. Only because I pulled off stunts
