Got akathisia. Restlessness and need to move. It got so bad that I had another voice in my head tell me I should kill things!

Now I'm off the Saphris and on 4x the ativan. Stupid brain! I want to cry.

. I took Ativan but I still want to scream and scream! I don't have that other voice telling me to kill things though. It told me I should! I got so scared I call per. My pdoc thinks I'll be better with Ativan up the wazoo. We'll see.

I'm not and 'up the wazoo' fan, but I really hopes she's right, and that it will provide the relief you need ((((((Moose))))))

Moose, when I was looking into Abilify and afraid of akathisia, p-doc went through a whole list of meds that help with that, starting with cogentin. I know it is not fun, taking extra meds, and ideally you should not have to do it, but... just mentioning as an option. Cogentin, propranolol, and something else he mentioned.

Please take it easy M, some respite is much needed and more than deserved. Music is a very good idea

Pjs, popcorn, and a cold drink sound like a good idea. I'm sorry you're having a rough time.

Glad that voice went away, though. Hopefully you will find some stable ground soon. I know you've been struggling for a while now.

This is off topic but I just watched this and it had me in stitches. The audience was besides themselves!

On Ativan. Still feel buzzy. I can lay still though. But my mind is not satisfied in the least.

Sleep is the great equalizer, I think. Glad you slept well.
