I'm not doubting you in any way because you know you best, but are you sure it's the clozapine that is causing the akathisia?

I would honestly wait until you talk to your pdoc if I were you. He/she might have a solution or some other piece of information you might not have yet.

I am defeated and resigned to my fate.

An unreachable being, tormented by schizophrenia for the rest of my life.

I have to admit. I didn’t really do anything today. Not much.

Worked on my blog. The stats are dying slightly but they mostly stay around so many views a day.

I’m my bored too much as I am lonely. Fiancé will get off work soon tho, later.

Turns out that I have cogentin from last year, but the pills are expired. Could I still take it, maybe?

Call the pharmacist and see if it just gets weaker or if it becomes toxic...

Theres a pressure in my chest when I lie down.

It happens almost every time I try to lie down in the evening. Google doesn't show any results. I'm too scared to ask my doctor what it is.

If anyone has any idea let me know

Face hurts and my head. I think I been looking at the computer too long today. Was up all night on it plus all day today. Need a break but finding it hard to take a break from writing. I could write all day.

Could you be experiencing reflux, Liam? It is worse when flat, better when sitting upright. Does that fit?
