So, do I find a side effect med to deal with the akathisia/restlessness/whathaveyou, or do I just try a new med altogether (likely Vraylar since my pdoc keeps mentioning it to me)? I'm thinking that the "healthier" thing to do is go with Vraylar. I don't want to add another med to my cocktail JUST so I can take rexulti. Yet, my pdoc may not like that idea or I may have to go back onto Rexulti, so I'm looking into akathisia/RLS meds.
Cogentin(benztropine) has helped me a lot with akathisia in the past.
