Akathisia is back

It feels like an itch you can’t scratch. Just want to move my legs constantly. Luckily for me I had some procyclidine in the cupboard.

Forgot how horrible this was

I’m sorry :slight_frown: Talk to your pdoc about it

I had really bad akathisia last night, it made me unable to sleep.

I need to ask about that med you took for it…or look it up…i just got a new, bigger and better meds textbook

It’s trade name is kemadrin. It is an anticholinergic.

Apparently it isn’t available in the us. Is used often here.

oh phooey. I will ask my pdoc- I didnt sleep because of it again…needs some attention.

Think you can get cogentin in the us.

Yeah, that is an option- it is just a little hardcore…not as hardcore as a benzo though. I need to ask about it. I might be too active for cogentin during the day

Akathisia is pure hell, I hope you get some relief.

I remember I went to the hospital about this for 4 hours I waited then they said I had to go involuntary to a mental unit what a joke just cus I overdosed on my meds thinking it would take the pain away
