Yes, I would be glad to but I am tired and ready to go to sleep. I'll let you know more about my history with these medicines later. But basically, I was on a few drugs for a couple of years like geodon, effexor, seroquel, zyprexa, etc. and I ended up getting Tardive Akathisia. I am in my early 20s, so this doesn't make things any easier.

I haven't been on any psychiatric medicines for 2 years now because of TA. I am now seeking treatment for Tardive Akathisia. We are trying benzos at the moment because propranolol didn't work.

I have been suffering for a long time from TA (about two years), I wish I never took any of those drugs they gave me. It has really messed up a lot of things. Oh well, good night.

You should look up TA if you want, but I want to forewarn you that it is a very terrible thing, after you read some stuff about it you may understand.
