Anyone else pace or lack focus after taking any of their meds? I haven’t been diagnosed but my antipsychotic medicine was just increased and I cant stand still.
My Risperdal makes me restless at 3mg and over.
Which AP are you on?
Same @Wave. I’m at 5mg now.
That’s a pretty high dose. You can take meds like Cogentin for the Akathisia.
The agitation may go away on its own, once you adjust to the higher dose.
I did not know there was a term to describe it @Wave I’ll have to let my doctor know on Monday about my restlessness. Thanks.

I get that way on most of the atypicals. Once I was brought to this assisted living center, and they had this class where everyone was supposed to sit and watch this movie. I could not stay seated. There was this one young woman there who kept trying to make me sit still, but I couldn’t do it. I hitch hiked out of that place that night.
