Anybody found this? It's still early for me with this drug, so I'm not positive if the correlation is true yet but some days it's been pretty bad. Ugh! it's such a horrible feeling! (If you've experienced it you know what I'm talking about), I just want to jump through the window or run up and down the street.

Did you stop the med or call your doc? How horrible for you. Love Phillipa

Hasn't really gotten that bad yet, I'm still feeling it out. Right now I'm in the midst of a big possible change, may be moving to across country for school in a couple months, but I'm a bit worried about it, so a bunch of other things could be playing into this.
thanks

I have had akathisia ranging from mild to debilitating for many years due to all of my meds, and believe it or not, Provigil (at 200mg) has not been a problem at all for me. AD's and MS's make me very akathetic! (I don't know if that's a real word or not but I like it) ;-)
Personally, I would try this med a little longer if it is giving you a positive effect, because the akathisia may go away. Everyone is different, but I'm very sensitive to akathisia and it doesn't bother me at all.
Best of luck! =)

In reply to MS's, what does that stand for? (nm), posted by stargazer2 on July 17, 2007, at 12:55:35
Mood Stabilizers, i.e. Lithium, Depakote, Lamictal, etc. They're for treating and preventing bipolar mania and also for augmenting antidepressants. =)
