In reply to akathisia?, posted by crazyrage on February 15, 2006, at 22:24:14
I'm on 2.5 mgs of Abilify daily and I'm having akathisia from it.
I can't keep my legs still to save my life and it's driving me CRAZY !
The only time I have any relief is when I'm sleeping but once my sleeping meds wear off it starts right back up.
In fact today I just wanted a break so I didn't take my Abilify but I'm still having the akathisia.
I just took a Benadryl and I hope it will help some.
I just feel restless and I can't focus to get anything done.
I had akathisia bad once when I was on Geodon so I know what it is and how it feels and how hard it is to live with.... UGH !!!!!!!!
I don't wish this on anyone.
I just don't know if it will get better / go away on the Abilify or not so I'm sure if I want to keep taking it.
I may try cutting the 2.5mg in half and I know they just came out with the 2mg pill. Maybe I could cut that in half, maybe I only need 1 mg a day !!! But would that do any good for bipolar ? I do seem to be med sensitive. I've had a MILLION bad reactions to stuff.Crazyrage I hope you feel better soon.
