I had it before my psychotic break but it’s way worse now. I can’t sit still and focus my attention on anything. I just pace around and think constantly, which is all well and good now that I have nothing much to do, but what’ll I do when I go back out into the world? My doctors technically know since I put that I’m more fidgety on my depression inventory papers but it’s not been brought up during our discussions; that part’s up to me, I guess. For now though, is there anything I can do?
I’m on risperidone, Lexapro, cogentin, and Wellbutrin if this info’s useful in any way.
Thanks for reading!
Do you have Akathesia from the meds? I started walking around in circles more when I had it. Less now that I’m zombied out on Seroquel. On the plus side it was easier to get my 10,000 steps in
Do you feel all shaky inside? This is how akathsia was for me. I can give u some reassurance in that the shakiness feeling left me after a while. But yes attention still remains challenging.
Hey I have that too… It’s gotten better over time even without akatisia meds, I’ve even come to enjoy it somewhat… But not really… On the other hand I’ve always had it so…
I’ve definitely always had it… I used to be a movie director and while in the editing room I remember pacing around trying to stay focused.
But now it can be just when I’m by myself at home, just pacing…
For now though, is there anything I can do?
