In reply to how can you tell the difference between akithisia, posted by platinumbride on April 3, 2006, at 10:20:17
I cannot tell the difference between fierce anxiety and akathisia. They are both horrendous torture. When I feel like I'm going 1000mph inside and I absolutely cannot sit still, it is so bad. Depakote and lexapro combo shut down a 2 month long bout of it. I'm in the middle of another one right now. Both times were sparked by weaning off anothe med, first time was st johns wort, this time was zyprexa. So I wonder also if it has anything to do with some kind of dysphoric mixed mania.
If your symptoms have anything at all to do with bipolar, depakote for just a week would be a good trial to see what it can do for you. If it is going to help, it will help anywhere from 1 day to 6 days usually. It also turbocharges benzos and antipsychotics, making them feel more powerful than they are in the tranquilizing department.
