Latuda has never made me sleepy; I take it at dinner. Oh, another slightly bothersome thing; you have to take it with 350 calories.

I am that previous poster and I just Googled akathisia; yes, that sounds like what I felt. I felt like I needed to get outside until I went outside and that wasn't good enough. I was pretty frantic. I thought it was anxiety because I felt like I wanted out of what I was doing and because of a stressful meeting that I thought was a trigger. But I still felt that way after the meeting went well. I stopped latuda and that horrid feeling stopped.
