I had a huge problem with akathesia on Risperdal- I was in constant motion for hours on end- doing sit-ups, push-ups pacing generally going nuts. Of all the atypicals seroquel is the most sedating, as an aside I developed TD with zyprexa. So I'm not a great fan of APs- atypical or not- especially when you're not psychotic. You certainly don't sound manic either- I would be floridly so and in the hosp. after that many days w/o sleep. I tend to agree with benzos, I truly don't know why people don't reach for them first as a sedative vs an AP. I sincerely hope you feel better- judy
