> did stimulants help with the motion control? the reason im asking is, i know akathisia is totally different from hyperactivity from ADHD, but that could do a good trial to try ritilin, methyphenidate, dexedrine and adderall should be waited on becuase amphetamine can induce speedy movements....it's all i think with a dopamine dyregulation i think with movement agitation, if you look at it, parkisons's disease is a severe form of lack dopamine inducing movement disorder, but still that could be totally diffrent...
I can barely get stimulants prescribed for my ADD, so I don't see a doctor giving me one for akathisia. Dexedrine wasn't all that helpful in the past, and I've never really tried the others. Nicotine works partially.

> i really would warn against using zyprexa and all the other antipsychotic medinces because those can vary much create what your having with, i took zyprexa in a psych hospital at 30mg, i went to sleeo and sleot like a baby and was phenobarbital like sedation, but during a psych class lesson on managing emotions, i started slowly jerk inside, i would sit down and get reflex movements, sit and my back would twitch... and then when i spoke i had hiccuplike reflexes and effectted the speech, they can block dopamine and induce movement disorder TD, where dopamine is lowered... makee things slow and start to effect cognitive aspects to deteriorate, so if your taking anything in that class that can be an indicator....but if not....
> maybe go workout, or jog for a hour and try to get all that stillness that makes you wanna move....work out like really hard, do running intervalsThanks for the suggestions. I do make sure I go for a walk daily, and spend a lot of time on my feet whenever possible. I'm not on an antipsychotic right now ..

> are you doing ok now?
>Thanks for asking. I'm doing okay. I mean, the things that I've found that help (Melatonin, Magnesium, Vitamin E, ibuprofen etc.) allow me to get through the day, but I couldn't see surviving like this indefinitely. I'm going to try get to a doctor soon ..
