Oh, to have akathisia on a LAI must have been awful!
I took 100 mg Thorazine last night (and also took Benadryl and 40 mg Latuda). Fell asleep, then woke up in the middle of the night twice and even ate at 4 AM. Fell back to sleep. But then, during the day, slept and had wild dreams for most of the day and also was majorly lightheaded. It was also hard to talk, to move my mouth to make words.
I will try it again tonight, this time without Benadryl.
I must say, it feels miraculous to be able to sleep without Zyprexa, and I am hoping that my body will accommodate to Thorazine.
