I cut down on my coffee :coffee:. Maybe you should cut it out.

I also take L-theanine when things get rough.

does it work? 15151515

For me it does. I’m on geodon and latuda and added 1mg extra in January. Since then my akinesia is under control. Some days I will still feel very restless.

Only way out is force myself to sleep.

Cogentin helps a litte. Doesn’t go away until I manage to fall asleep which takes a while. Hard to lie down, have to keep moving. Thankfully, I don’t get restlessness often.

My pdoc suggested Pamelor. I did not want to take it though.
