I researched akathisia earlier today and it definitely seems to fit what I've been experiencing, although mildly. It seems to fade as the day goes on though.

I read that the anxiety you get from akathisia is derived from a different part of the brain than regular anxiety, though. I don't know how accurate that is, but wouldn't that make a regular anti-anxiety med not work as well?

Sadly I wouldn't be able to afford an anti-anxiety med anyway. I'm getting Latuda for free (until I'm on SSI) because she has so many free samples.

This just really sucks because it feels like a mild version of the dread I felt on saphris, which is what made me very scared of trying new meds to begin with
