Thanks for your reply! I forgot to mention that when I have the akasthesia, I also have trouble breathing/shortness of breath. I just read somewhere to seek emergency help and stop the meds if you have trouble breathing. And I don't have psychotic issues...just depression/possibly somewhere on the bipolar spectrum although I don't get manic, just irritable at times. My doctor saved me from my deepest depression several years ago; she has a good reputation but now I'm thinking about getting a second opinion. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield.
