I'm sorry the restlessness got even worse. I'm not familiar with how the progression of those symptoms goes once you begin weaning. Are you on more than just the Rexulti? Isnit possible a different med is to blame for these issues?

Yeah. I am on Zoloft, Lamictal, Rexulti, and Ritalin for my daily psych med cocktail. Then I have Propranolol and Klonopin PRN (although I have been taking propranolol twice daily and I have yet to get my klonopin Rx renewed).
It's possible that Zoloft is doing this because I know that Zoloft carries the same akathisia risk (albeit a bit lower amount), but the akathisia was definitely lessened when I skipped the rexulti for one day. I assume I had some "residual akathisia" because I still have rexulti in my system.
If I had it my way, I wouldn't be on any antipsychotic because I think they carry too many side effect risks, but I know I will get a resurgence of psychotic symptoms if I don't take one. Still, I think I need a different med because I really hate having to take an extra med simply because another one gives me side effects. It's rather annoying and frustrating, especially when the extra med doesn't work.
