Stan -- I think it's one of those computer games with "Levels." You're only at Level 2 now, which is mostly about killing bots and spammers, with only a few other players. Soon, you will progress through the Levels -- there will be more players, more allies, more magic objects, more ammunition, new puzzles.....

Not much people will understand apart from us both, my dear Sheila! :th_not-tagged-smile

Side Effects of Akathisia
Akathisia is an internal drive to move and be constantly involved in activities. People experiencing akathisia find it difficult to sit still and stop moving. Akathisia is sometimes accompanied by paranoia and anxiety. Akathisia affects patients primarily taking antipsychotics. There are cures that can help alleviate the problem of akathisia, but in some cases patients experience long-term akathisia. Their treatment would also be long-term and only partially cure the condition, but it cannot fully treat some cases.

Extreme Mobility
Akathisia is the state of extreme movement. The movement is fueled by internal factors and, in most cases, is caused by antipsychotics. It may also be a side effect of morphine withdrawal. Symptoms of akathisia include shifting weight from one foot to another, walking in place, the shuffling of feet, and leg swinging of repeated crossing. In extreme cases, people will pace and remain in agitated states at all times. Persons with akathisia will have trouble sitting or standing still and remain so for any length of time.

Paranoia
Akathisia may also be accompanied by intense paranoia. The sufferer may feel something catastrophic is going to happen, or that he is being watched or persecuted. This kind of paranoia creates anxiety. Paranoia is driven by delusions, or beliefs a person has that are contrary to the reality of his situation. A person affected may become suspicious, irritable, introverted, depressed, obstinate, jealous, selfish, unsocial and bitter for no reason other than delusion.

Anxiety
Undefined anxiety may be at the center of akathisia. The effects of paranoia may fuel the anxiety, agitating the akathisia. The movements will become more extreme and a person can become totally restless, displaying rapid and continuous motion. Signs of anxiety are constant tension and worrying. Irrational fears that interfere with lifestyle and thinking patterns is also a complication of anxiety. The anxiety may range from a mild sense of disquiet to a total inability to stay still.

Other Effects
Other complications seen with akathisia are abnormal behaviors, aggression, malaise, staring, gait disturbance, memory impairment, depressed mood, asthenia (physical weakness), weight increase, suicide attempts, sedation, insomnia, tremor, dyskinesia (involuntary movements) and memory impairment. Some of these side effects may be linked to akathisia and some are simply co-existing reactions to psychiatric drugs. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) also occurs in some cases as a reaction to an antipsychotic drug. NMS is a rare movement disorder that requires hospitalization.

Hi Stan, me again, try not to search the internet because when you are in w/d it only makes you feel scared and worse. I know Just want to keep saying your condition is NOT permanent and you WILL recover it just takes time...I am proof! I know you don't know me from Adam, but I didn't know Lilly from Adam either, but she told me I would recover and she was right! Hang in there!

So sorry you are going through this Stan. All I can offer is what Luc always says, ' Just keep walking' (not literally lol)

Hi Cindy,

It is great to read this reply to Stan. It is so helpful to hear from someone who has experienced the symptoms and has gotten considerably better. Thanks so much.

[Cindy]

Thanks, Barbara...I know only too well how hard it is to keep the faith while you are going through it!

Stan, this is only temporary. You already had good improvements some time ago. I sure know how it feels when those pesky symptoms attack again, but when you go through this phase, you will enter your 4th year off. More healing is under way. Hang in there, My Friend!
