A lot of them I didn't try that long. After my helldol experience I just stopped trying to stick out akathisia. If I needed a med change, chances are I was already in a bad place, and adding the feeling to rip my skin off and scream if I stopped moving wouldn't go well (as seen with Haldol, which I was on for over a year and the akathisia didd not get better). Based on Haldol and Thorazine, I'm convinced EPS doesn't go away over time.

I don't really try to hope a side effect will go away if it's something like allergic reactions or thinking I'm breaking into an apartment in Lowell, MA when I'm in a hospital hall and they're trying to give me benzos either. Or makes me want to die when that's what it was supposed to help with. Or it's been five months and I've doubled my weight. I could try Seroquel again, but I feel like at 1200mg and still struggling with paranoia (for the 6 hours a day I was awake) I'd rather not.
