Went to bed at 8 last night and woke up at 5:30. I dozed off and on until 7:30. So a great night!

Had an in-person check up with my pdoc (nurse practitioner). She was working with a student NP who did my appointment. Then my regular NP came in and we discussed how I've been feeling. I was very fidgety they said. It's true- I was not sitting still at all constantly shifting in my seat sitting up then sitting back then immediately up again, grabbing the chair arms then releasing, shuffling my feet. They both declared that I had "classic akathesia"! And I thought I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary- well I knew I was moving around a lot. They decided that it's from the Haldol and Rexulti. That's why she wanted to add Ativan morning and night. I took my first pill at Starbucks and I do feel calmer in terms of the restlessness. I just have to only take it as prescribed and not stop it suddenly because last time I took it I went cold turkey off- completely- and had horrible withdrawals.
