Akathisia

Posted by tj @tjanet, Feb 17 9:11pm

My doctor wants to say that I have Akathisia but my symptoms are not Akathisia symptoms. I have a hard time standing still more then a couple minutes. When I stand still longer then a couple minutes I get a weird feeling in my legs and I get a weak feeling. It stops when I bend my knees a little or walk. It only happens when I stand still. It is not an uncontrollable intense urge to move feeling.
Doctor wants me to take Austedo. I am prone to side effects and adverse reactions.

I was right, I didn't need the medication for TD/Akathisia.

What happened? Were you diagnosed with something else?

The doctor misdiagnosed me. I didn't have akathisia. My symptoms were not akathisia symptoms. My only symptom was I couldn't stand still without bending my knees a little. If I bent my knees a little I was able to stand still.
