Have you ever suffered akathisia on psychiatric tablets?!


Question: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akathisia

I suffered it on Risperidone and it was like hell on earth. I could not sit still for 30 seconds and I felt severely tormented in a way hard to describe. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Yes- whilst on fluoxetine.. an indescribable and horrendous experience. I believe some psychiatrists conducted an experiment by taking psychiatric drugs- they later said that akathisia was the worst experience of their life.

same thing same medicine

then they tried me on abilify and i vomited violently and had tracers.


now I'm on geodon

were you not prescribed procyclidine to treat the extrapyramidal side effects of the antipsychotic medication

Yes, I got exactly the same thing on the same med - I changed to abilify and still get akathesia but they treat it with side effect tablets (which of course have their own side effects!!!!!)

I had this reaction to abilify. There are medications out there that can help with this but you have to ask for these treatments.

1. Cogentin
2. Artane
3. Benadryl

I take Artane for the side effect and it works wonders.
