latuda had the same effect on me, among others.
was supposed to be another treatment, after other meds, for a really bad mixed episode, but in several ways it contributed to some of the symptoms, including restlessness.
I wish you luck with this, my agitation, whether it be during an episode or stable times, where it does happen often, is treated pretty well with .5mg xanax. I'm past the point of abuse or anything, so thats why in my opinion, I can say it with certainty that it's been helpful.
