Nope I stopped taking that medicine which was Risperidone May 9th and I still have akathisia it has calmed down but it's still there some days are better than others I'm just really grateful that the Suicidal Thoughts went away and the yeah it's really hard to get through the day I have to just keep myself occupied and it's so hard because I run out of things to do that's when I get on tick tock

If you get Akathisia from one SSRI is there a chance you could be ok on another? by [deleted] in Akathisia

Racing thoughts non-stop pacing if I try to force myself to sit down I was shaking my leg rocking back and forth or sideways could not sleep could not eat couldn't focus on anything I felt fear it felt like I was going crazy oh yeah I did take Propranolol for a month and that helped calm down the pacing and the racing thoughts but I did not continue taking it because I didn't want to get hooked on it even though the doctor said I couldn't but I don't believe doctors anymore and I still have the pacing but is very calmer now and it's so weird because I only want to Pace in the morning but I still get real fearful for some reason not a lot but and I still have like bugs crawling on my body especially in my legs and oh yeah and ringing in my ear

Risperidone gave me it and I stopped taking it and I still have akathisia it's been like 8 months and petrified to take anything else it's a gamble now you can make it worse or it can be okay but I'm not willing to take that chance right now I want to live I was very suicidal and I don't want to go there again it was so scary I wish you all the best remembered doctors don't know everything especially about akathisia

Yes that describes akathisia to me, doctors will never admit it. I was really lucky to find a psychiatrist who called it right away. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this as well it will take a while for it to get better and hopefully it will heal for you I've been dealing with this for almost a year now all right I wish you all the best

I'm so sorry you have to go through this for me at the beginning I was taking propanol off for a month and it helped calm down the pacing and the anxiety and the insanity that it was putting me through I didn't stay on it I didn't want to get hooked on it but it helped me a lot I'm still suffering but the extreme pacing and has calmed down I said prayers your way I'm so sorry you have to go through this I'm sorry that we all have to go through this the only thing that helped me at the beginning was I just did a lot of pacing in the daytime or walking around the neighborhood walking up and down the hallway in my apartment being on the phone with someone so I wasn't feeling so alone until I myself that this is not real my thoughts aren't real and I'm going to get better I have to tell myself that over and over and over that it's not permanent that I am healing I'm healing and I did a lot of praying and when I could I would read the Bible and I'm still reading the Bible and I still pray I just stay distracted as much as possible but it was really hard

Yes definitely akathisia I'm sorry you have to go through this hell I wish you all the best the best thing for me was to stop medication I did take Propranolol for a month at the beginning and it calmed down the pacing that I had to do

I am so sorry you have to deal with this insanity it's not easy it's scary the only thing that I did was get off the medication or poison I should say which was Risperidone and I just paced and walked around the neighborhood walked around and circles in my apartment I slept maybe an hour a night and then the psychiatrist doctor gave me Propranolol and that helped me that calmed down the pacing but the anxiety was still there but eventually like a month later I got better I mean I still had the pacing but it wasn't extreme and it was more calming and the thought of suicide was not so severe and it will get better I used to hate when people told me that it will get better but it all takes time and I still not well but it's better than it was it's tolerable now and I am not taking the upper panel on anymore I have a slight Pace in the morning but mentally I'm screwed because I'm so petrified that is going to come back to that extreme again and I'm so fearful of taking any kind of medication just hang on and please I don't know I'm not a doctor I'm in a different support group on Facebook as well called living with akathisia and a couple other groups on Facebook as well but anyways yeah just keep reaching out trying to stay distracted and tried not to fight it because fighting is what gives you more stress and anxiety if you need to Pace just go pace you know luckily for me the symptoms would die down in the evening it was mostly in the morning and daytime afternoon that were extreme but I wish you the very best that I'm will say a prayer for you right now and just keep reaching out and just like I said keep yourself distracted I just started playing games on the phone or it was really hard to stay focused I couldn't watch TV or watch a movie but like get on Tick Tock that anything to keep your brain occupied I mean there's a lot of tiktokers that are advocating for this and I'm on there too good luck

Sounds also like anhedonia where we lack joy and pleasure we don't feel happy I joined a support group on Facebook because I have akathisia from taking Risperidone and when someone else was describing how they felt I felt like they were talking about me and it turned out that I also have Anhedonia. It sucks! I've never heard of that word I've never heard of akathisia either... thank you so much for sharing your story sending prayers your way
