Magnesium helps with akathisia!

Medications

I was studying and found on Reddit, under the schizophrenia group I think, they listed magnesium as helpful with akathisia. I always have this horrible restlessness on Geodon. I’m back on it because Caplyta was always a little weaker, but then it wasn’t working as well.

I just asked my pdoc to change me to Geodon because I’m more even keeled on it. Anyway, no akathisia this time!!!

I had to pass that on to you here. I’m posting a picture of what I take. The dose says two capsules, but that makes me tired. Just one works for me.

I might try this. I have akathisia and can’t stand benztropine. The world is harsh when you have akathisia.

I just ordered a bottle. Hopefully this stuff can help. My world gets harsh with akathisia. And my brain gets tight.

Let us know if it works. Good luck.

Yes, I found out it does after taking the supplement. It also helps me with libido. I had no libido problems while taking Geodon like before.

You can also try Benadryl/Diphenhydramine. It’s a mild anticholinergic like benztropine but without the huge side effects.
