Fixing the typos in my earlier post:
Fixing the hole in my first post:
Ive experienced that restlessness you refer to. When I too Haldol at 5mg I felt horrible. Couldnt figure out if I wanted to lay down, sit or stand. Felt so bothered inside. This is indeed Akithisia. It seems certain parts of psychiatry only recognize the movement aspect of it. Their education seems to ignore the emotionak part, as well. But Akithisia has been connected to the Suicidal and Homicidal thoughts/actions these meds induce, in some cases. So maybe they dont recognize the severe emotional aspect of Akithisia to keep burried the fact these meds can induce Homicidal thoughts.
My Akithisia subsided after the dose wore off. So I never tried any medication for it. But I expect youve Googled treatments for it already. If not, this article mentions some:
