Akathesia is for the birds!!!
Akathesia. It is like hell. It is a side effect I experienced all weekend on a med i was taking (and am now not taking, thank you very much!) To quote a gal (from online) who had the same experience, "It is a movement disorder where you become extremely restless and are constantly moving and pacing. It felt like my body was alive and it was this intense internal restlessness and a constant need to move. It was severe restlessness. I couldn't sit down for more than a couple minutes, I couldn't sleep, my body just kept moving." That is the perfect description of what I was feeling. It was like torture. So my weekend was rough. But it's starting to go away so yay.
