I'm not sure but a lot of what's going on may be withdrawal from drugs. He is probably having extreme anxiety from coming off the Lorazapam and the other drugs. He's walking around so much because he may be experiencing agitation as well as the anxiety and just can't sit still. This has happened to me in the past when I was coming off drug and it's very painful I couldn't sleep at night either. I'm not sure about the talking, unless he's trying to sooth himself. Please keep a sharp eye on him as he may be suicidal. Also keep in mind that I'm not a doctor or an expert, I'm just saying what happened to me. You need to see a Physc. Doc that specializes in drug withdrawal, and don't let any doctor tell you that drug withdrawal only takes a week or two, it can take many months or more. They give us these drugs but they forget the ramifications when its time to come off from them. Look at the website Benzos.org.
Good luck and please keep in touch with us.

Thank You for answering. I took my son off antipsychotics for 2 weeks and he was not walking around that much but still talking. He went to another psy. dr and put on different psych drugs prolixin and again non stop all day today from 7am and still walking 7hrs later. The dr said try ambien and lithium with prolixin and lorazapam 3x day and it should help well guess what nothing is slowing him down. I just don't know anymore I feel like taking him off everything.
