Anyone have Akathisia after taking Vraylar?

Hello @da69. I can understand your concern, and it appears your symptoms could last up to 4 weeks after stopping the drug, so you are potentially to the halfway point. Since this is a drug typically prescribed as an antipsychotic, you will notice I have also added this to the Depression and Anxiety Support Group so that other members may more easily find it as well. In addition, I edited the title for the same reason.

You said you've looked into B6, and I wonder if you have also looked into magnesium, as both are known to be helpful? Epsom salt baths may also help reduce your symptoms.

Yes i am taking 500mg of magnesium at night....I am getting better...I can at least sit for a bit now.
warm baths do help.
a weighted heating pad across my legs has helped.
It is just my legs now instead of my arms and legs.
You better believe i will not take any med going forward if Akathisia is at all a possible side effect.
Akathisia is pure torture.
Thank you for the Reply...Greatly appreciated.
