I think a few Pdoc’s probably don’t say “hey this can cause you to want to climb out of your skin and pace a million miles “ because a person is very much in need of a medication and they don’t want to I dunno “spook anyone” ? but when that person calls with akathesia type side effects.... They need to react ... right ... away...

Maybe I’m wrong but standard from my Pdoc and any IP Pdocs I ever had was Inderal if no relief in 24/48 hours then add Cogentin right away if no relief then it’s time to decrease dose of current med(s) and see if that helps in 3/5 days but if someone is not finding relief then that Medication has to go ASAP

I got it with Abilify so ... , Inderal , Cogentin , decrease dose , no relief I stepped down off it and I “ think” I went back onto Seroquil ?? All of the above took place in 10-12 days.

I know lots of people that have gone to the ER because they just couldn’t handle it anymore. Akathesia is something ER Doctors see far to often and they almost always give a person a weeks worth and told to see Pdoc asap. Maybe that would be an option if you just can’t get help from your Pdoc?
