> but you feel akathisia the first time you take an increased dose? hmmmm..... any idea how long it takes to get used to it?
If an AP causes akathisia I always experience it immediately; not later like some people. For example, I experienced akathisia on 0.25 mg of Risperdal and 20 mg Geodon and these are low doses.I don't know if the akathisia on Abilify goes away at the 5 mg level, as I never continue to take it long enough to find out.
In addition to a horrific anxiety disorder I have a phobia of medications. I don't trust them. Sometimes I look at them and see poison pills. How do I know that they are not damaging me? Taking the pills makes me feel like a slave to others.
