Oh my god, I have been incredibly restless the past few days!
Today it’s really bad.
I can’t concentrate, I can’t sit still, I can’t stand being anywhere, I’m chainsmoking when I can get away with it… I’m about to crawl out of my skin, lol
I guess this is another symptom I should be telling my pdoc about, but aside from that, does anyone have any idea what I can do to alleviate some of it?
I fidget a lot, and music seems to help a little bit.
Do you think you have akithisia?
Possibly. I keep rocking back and forth or from side to side, and if I’m on chairs you can move (like computer/office chairs), I keep turning the chairs. I constantly move my fingers or my feet, and if I can get away with it, I’ll pace back and forth up and down the halls.
It does sound like akithisia to me… I had that on a higher dose of Abilify.
I’m on a pretty high dose of abilify, but I haven’t had problems with that causing it in the past
How long have you been on a high dose of Abilify? Maybe it takes awhile to build up in your system. Or maybe your restlessness is unrelated to the AP and it will go away in a few days. But if it doesn’t go away, I’d tell my pdoc because it sounds like akithisia to me and maybe he can prescribe something for it.
I don’t want to be sedated more than I already am 
I have been on this dose for a few months now, but I recently started on Invega like, 3 week ago. Really hoping that’s not what’s causing it, because it’s worked well on other symptoms
According to the invega website, akathisia is one of the most common side effects.
Will it pass when my body gets used to the medicine?
I found comments online of one person’s akathisia going away after a month. They were on Abilify. But most comments say it doesn’t go away unless you stop taking the AP.
Aww
I don’t want to stop taking it. I guess I can always hope I’m one of the lucky ones it goes away for
At least you’ll be doing some physical activity. 
i get incredibly restless all the time, myself feels like forever…
on abilify also…
could be akathisia
nothing you can really do…
these days especially in australia they are severely reluctant to give out benzos… and if you have drug dependance history… forget it…
