I'm having strange side effects with this medication as well, and they seem to be dose related. People don't understand what poisons these psyche meds are. Take your medication is easy to say, but many of these meds solve one problem and cause another. Sometimes I just feel like all I'm doing with these meds is choosing which way I'd prefer to die. Diabetes, heart disease or suicide. I never need a doctor's permission to quit a drug, and I'm seriously considering canning this one. The panic attacks, restlessness, racing heart beat are terrifying. I wonder if this is what my cousin experienced before is fatal heart attack last year. The doctor still hasn't gotten back to me. What should I expect while he's out playing golf. The finally read that Vitamin B-6 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15554771) helps with akathisia and started taking 100mg/day Friday, and it is working after a few weeks of having problems sitting still. Another article I've read, says that B-6 can cause serious problems, if 500mg or more are taken a day. Just buy a general B vitamin that has it in it and enjoy feeling better.
