Hi Girl Interrupted,
I've never actually had akathisia before but have read about it.
I have however experienced high levels of anxiety and that sounds to me like what you're experiencing.
I definately agree with the other posters, Abilify is known to cause initial anxiety so taking that coupled with decreasing the Paxil would have made you worse.
I have a very tense jaw most of the time and that's tension and anxiety.
You say your legs are moving a lot, can you stop them from moving or is it more like it's beyond your control? I just think that the restless legs would be more like a compulsion.
I really don't think you should worry about the abilify screwing you up as it doesn't sound to me that it has. But then you know yourself better than anyone else.
Denise
