So the only antipsychotics so far that have not caused horrendous akathisia have been seroquel and zyprexa, and even those, I have had to start with extremely low doses. Unfortunately, those 2 cause extreme weight gain and stratospheric cholesterol levels.
I recently tried Moban 5mg, and yup, akathisia..extreme anxiety, almost panic, fear, restlessness with sedation. 15mg Temazepam worked wonders...do benzos usually help with this se? I'm on medicare the don't pay for benzos, but medi-cal still does. Does klonopin work for this too? I would think that would be the best one to be on, if you didn't run across a dr. who is anti-benzo and insists on taking you off....
