  I am soo sorry you went through that - it sounds like akathisia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akath... OMG does it feel like total hell. Some drugs can cause it, if you need an antipsychotic for psychotic symptoms the best with lowest incidences are Seroquel & Seroquel XR & a brand new one (which was just approved & not even out yet, so keep your eyes out & supposedly it doesn't make you tired) called Fanapt. I can take low dose Risperdal as well. High dose and I get akathisia but it is mild & I can take cogentin to stop it. - it is sooooo bad, akathisia was used as a form of torture in political prisoners by using high doses of antipsychotics, so it is that bad. :big hugs: Some people are just like us - my pdoc says it has to do with our brains and the way our dopamine receptors work.
