even though i do spend a lot of my life in bed miserable, i spend just as much time pacing and talking non-stop... and i chew through my teeth all day. i don't even have to be agitated. it is often associated with agitation that i have, tho. it is purely akathisic and started with paxil years ago. i even start twitching again on most ADs, even dopaminergic ones. (i figure its a paradoxical response analagous to what levodopa does to parkinsonian people.)
i knew it was akithisic related and it was a lot more encouraging to find attitudes supporting this:

ECT, that seems to reset the RECEPTORS of the brain seems to have a remarkable therapeutic effect in at least this one case:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=AbstractPlus&list_uids=12972988&query_hl=1&itool=pubmed_docsumi think my problems are basically the opposite of a depressed person. i think my problems lie in what causes akithisia. serotonergic OVER activity. or sertonin receptor hypersensitivity. which of course causes dopaminergic and acetylcholinergic failure. like how it treats OCD. it basically unplugs the anterior cingulate and possibly the parts of the frontal cortex that depend on it (what we usually blame for cases like mine.) this all leading to extreme terrible problems with executive function and apathy. the story of my life.
does anyone know of any drugs that help this?
i am looking into 5HT-2a agonists, but they all seem illicit. maybe that is why i love them so much. i literally have feelings again on mushrooms. apart from being kind of wacky from an illict drug, it's the closest i feel to normal. i don't think it's exactly a solution for my executive functionning though.
