You’re not on any meds rn? How do you manage your symptoms?

Maybe it’s withdrawal from your meds causing the restlessness. I know abilify itself causes me to feel restless.

Clozapine can do that too. My doctor gave me propranolol to help with my restlessness that I was having.

It could be I heard akatashia can happen after stopping but it feels more like hyperactivity and I’ve felt this way on meds to I just don’t know why

Hmmm, yeah idk, maybe talk to your doctor about it. But in the mean time, maybe use that energy to your advantage, to do some chores or something, at least that’s what I would do.

Do you go off meds on your own cause you feel you can manage.

Even if you really believe you don’t need meds. You should at least let your doctors know. They need to know these things.

Did you go off without slowly reducing the dose? If so your in for a wild ride

But its only been a week. Just keep an eye on it. These drugs can give you rebound psychosis when your brain tries to balance out

Well just give it a few days you probably won’t enjoy it. Why did you quit your meds?

You shouldn’t go off meds without talking to your doctor about it first. That’s why he/she is the doctor and you’re not. Please be careful.
