I also get akathisia from high doses of Seroquel, apfei - it is a rare side effect but boy, does akathisia feel like internal torture to me...

mossanimal: 10 years since the diagnosis, I am beginning to benefit from self-awareness. Last week I recognized that my wanting to buy a computer for home use was hypomanic, and that I could purchase paniers for my bike and transport the work computer home this way. But I made so many errors in the past before reaching this stage of self-awareness. Notice what is happening with you and eventually you might get there. A contingency plan also is a good idea. A formal application of that idea is WRAP=Wellness and Recovery Action Plan, by Mary Ellen Copeland. Look up her website for very cool ideas.
