Had a really rough day...been trying to get my lithium refilled since Wednesday as I was going to run out today....3pm came and still no refill....panic set it and I started spiraling. Finally got my Rx at 4pm but the damage was already done. Been fighting horrible restlessness all week as I'm weaning off of Zyprexa. I'm still restless...can't sit still...anxiety is so bad that benzos aren't helping...everything is making me angry...I keep running around the house cleaning things and organizing things...every tiny thing that's out of place is driving me mad....i haven't slept much this week...exhausted but couldn't sleep if I wanted to...my husband tried to talk to me and calm me down and I just got irritated with him...my thoughts are racing....I'm worrying about things Ithat normally wouldn't phase me...was supposed to go out with my husband tomorrow but now he'd told me we shouldn't go and that upset me...I don't know what's going on or why this is happening....I just want it to stop....I feel like I want to jump out of my skin....this was really long and rambling and I hope it made sense.

That made total sense. I got that restlessness from abilify being too high a dose and it was really awful so I feel for what you are going through. Can you get some rest with meds that knock you out? And I'm glad that you got that right filled finally too bad for the lateness.
Hope you feel better really soon

I get to be in the same situation as you're describing. It's hard to be me, hard for others to be with me. I'm sorry you're in this awfully yucky place now. In my case, before I feel better, I hit a bottom, stay there and then re-engage with my prns, and coping skills that I lost sight of. Ugh, not easy.

That sounds terrible....and exhausting. I'm tired just reading about all you've been through. I wish I could say something to make it all go away.
