I was on Abilify 7.5 mg every day for four weeks. I experienced moderate akathesia within 2 weeks of initiation of this med. I also felt the physical sensation of leaning to the left, driving to the left (here in the US we prefer drivers stay to the right)!
I stopped this med 5 days ago and reported these symptoms to my pdoc. He prescribed amantadine and within 3 doses the sensations began to subside.
Has anyone had akathesia as a reaction to a med? Did you stop the med? How long did it take for the agitation and inner restlessness to go away?
Thanks!
