oh...i see you're also on risperidone. sorry, i didn't see that earlier. taking 2+ tranquilizers at the same time can often lead to an increase in adverse effects. sometimes its necessary, but...personally, I like to take just 1 tranquilizer most days. when i get extra agitated, i have low dose risperidone i can take at night, but that's rare.

sometimes, depression w/ lots of agitation, psychosis, etc. can be treated with just seroquel, by itself. i think that requires a couple hundred mgs per day, though, and it carries certain risks, over the long haul.

i hope you and your doctor can find a good solution. akathisia can be suppressed w/ some sedatives, benzodiazepines, propranolol. now and then, people develop chronic akathisia, which...does not sound fun. at all (its rare).
Thanks for this!
