i've noticed i move alot when im on it, it's like ill sit in a position and by the time class is over with i have changed sitting positions, and hand fiddiling over 20 times.....
i know it lowers dopamine, but if dopamine is lowered enough it creates movement disorder, like parkinson's but that's a extreme case
when i was on stimulants i could sit still for hours, zyprexa makes me sqiggely

I had full blown akathisia on 5mgs, even though I was on ongoing Klonopin treatment.
If it keeps happening, you might want to do..something. There is "tardive akathisia" to consider, and I'd --hate-- to be stuck with akathisia, personally.
Just a thought.

>Yep. I feel a bit of that Zyprexa restlessness around bedtime. I'm only taking 5mg. I'm splitting it up into two doses now hoping to avoid that slight feeling of akathesia I felt while on Abilify.
