akathisia sometimes goes away. obviously, it can also be suppressed w/ additional drugs. ive read stories of people who developed tardive akathisia on the 'atypicals,' and its...horrible. i mean, tardive dyskinesia is rough enough, tardive akathisia is non-stop, inner torment. some doctors apparently use opiates and/ or benzodiazepines which...makes life more bearable, im sure, but doesn't do a whole lot to fix anything.

i read one case report on tardive akathisia from abilify that responded to...remeron, i think. i forget the reasoning behind all that, but it worked.

i dunno. at this point, im doing the orthomolecular thing w/ the tranquilizer (abilify, in my case) and im doing much better than before the vitamins. no eps, no td, no akathisia, minimal drug induced dysphoria and cognitive problems, etc.


You always mention your orthomolecular/vitamin approach, but I don't recall hearing anything other than a super-B you take. Care to share with the group what you take to guard against the side effects?

I take a multi and a super-B complex, but that's it for vitamins. Amino acids, now that's another story. They've been helping me a ton.
