It sounds like you have akathisia. Ativan or Cogentin will usually get rid of it.

Sorry to hear...you might consider Seroquel or Latuda over Zyprexa.

Yup. I've had minor feelings of restlessness when my Zyprexa was increased too. For me it went away after a week or so.

Does anyone have pain in joints when not moving around seems to be gone once I walk but standing makes it worst wondering if it has something to do with the restlessness

I had HORRIBLE restlessness when on zyprexa. I was on 30 mg in the evening. It got so bad it would actually wake me up. It wasn't even like an ADHD restlessness. It was more like I wanted to "crawl out of my skin" is the only way I can think to describe it. They tried to put me on klonopin to help, but it did nothing. Worst 3 1/2 years of my life.
