I assume then that this state of curling up in a ball is accompanied by subjective feelings of intense anxiety (i.e., is very similar to anxiety)? Being in a ball under the covers is a rather all-too-familiar place for me! (though not very recenty), I have had difficulty in discerning what is akathisia (a side effect of a med) versus "regular" anxiety (a med actually losing its anxiolytic properties).
Anyone have ideas whether the two can be distinguished? It would seem important especialy for those taking antipsychotics for anxiety--are you on too much or too little?
