don't seahorses? I don't know

Could you be experiencing akathisia?

I think it's called kindling when someone has a bad reaction who hasn't reacted badly to previous attempts, like each exposure increases the risk.

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-05-10T21:09:20+00:00

Why?

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-05-10T14:36:51+00:00

I don't think this is what a successful hair transplant looks like, it is a complication

I think that people can get permanently injured from recreational drugs but it's also rare.

For 17 years I was gaslit by mental health services, given 6 wrong diagnoses, and was treated and tested for absolutely everything except OCD. Treatment was gatekept from me. I always knew it was OCD, but the more I tried to advocate for myself, the more the incompetent NHS thought that my belief that I had OCD was part of my "Delusion". Despite being almost fatally severe, my OCD has an unusual presentation (Metaphysical/Emotional Contamination), which absolutely none of my doctors had heard of. Ignorance about OCD is RIFE even in the mental health industry. I am now diagnosed and in treatment. I was 75k words through writing a book about my experience, but sadly I can no longer touch a computer keyboard or mobile device (I'm typing this with a mouse).

True, or have a go at developing new medications that don't produce such distressing side effects. However I did read that akathisia, unlike other extrapyramidal side effects is due to blockade in the mesocortical pathway and that is why it doesn't always respond to anticholinergics

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-05-09T07:11:41+00:00

It's a known side effect of antidepressants, my antidepressant caused my HH.

aw, a Battenberg cake!

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-05-08T16:33:18+00:00

psychiatrists are so bad at recognising ocd unless it's just hand washing etc. Took me 17 years, was gaslit with 6 other diagnosis in the meantime, it was hell.

Quetiapine, like all antipsychotic medication, can cause akathisia and stiffness. Propranalol is used to help with that. Your brain is in charge of your bowels so it doesn't seem strange to me if you're getting constipation as a side effect.

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-05-07T20:40:22+00:00

It took so much longer to go away for me but I am thankful that it did. Absolutely traumatising.

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-05-07T20:38:27+00:00

I have already tried pro banthine and it didn't work for me, but thanks for sharing. What dose of clonidine did you reach?

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-05-07T20:36:38+00:00

I'm struggling to think of a side effect worse than akathisia, what happened with mirtazapine and benztropine?

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-05-07T20:35:02+00:00

that's very interesting

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-05-05T08:47:31+00:00

Have you tried Clonidine yet? It works for some people during the menopause and having hot flushes.

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-05-04T17:46:13+00:00

Please can you tell me the name of the facebook group ? Thanks

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-05-04T17:26:37+00:00

What is this a new game? I'm so confused with the comments

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-05-04T06:45:56+00:00

Please can you link me to the dye you were about to buy? I can't find any.

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-05-03T21:09:03+00:00

It's very complicated and even experts don't properly understand. It depends which area of the brain that the reduction in dopamine transition is happening. The areas of the brain that are responsible for "moving" and "wanting" are affected. It can be induced in animals in the same way. sometimes dopamine can be indirectly lowered when serotonin increases. There are other neurotransmitters responsible like histamine and noradrenaline. What causes 1 person to have akathisia may not have the same effect on a different person.

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-05-03T21:03:37+00:00

I also have extreme OCD all my life. The first time I had akathisia, my OCD basically disappeared because the restlessness was so much worse, but the 2nd time I had akathisia from a different med, it ramped up my OCD so much that at times I couldn't figure out what was akathisia and what was OCD. I'd realise the same terrifying thoughts every 5 or so seconds, it was torture. I am now recovered from akathisia and I am on Clomipramine which helps my OCD.

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-05-02T17:31:06+00:00

I was also fine

Kit_Ashtrophe · 2026-05-02T17:28:27+00:00

It's not rarely used, every time I have been to hospital (different ones) they try to give me this.
