My pleasure!
Thanks for the cogentin tip. Jeesh!
I can't do benadryl.I'm a singer and it dries me out too much :(.
I really felt better almost immediately (in terms of depression) at the 5 mg. dose.
I am already cutting 10 mgs tabs in half, so the 2.5 mg is nearly impossible for a clutz like me!
I could cut this akathisia thing totally if I weren't trying to cut down on neurontin (I was taking like 8000 mgs and up daily...self-medicating)
I do hope the benadryl gives you some real relief and that the abilify will make you feel better soon.
As long as I am moving around I can deal, I guess.
Best to you...
Diane
