I took a very small dose of Risperdal once, 0.25 mg, and experienced terrible akathesia. As tired as the medication made me I couldn't lie down and sleep; I had to keep moving. I felt like I was in hell.
During a second trial at the same dosage I experienced the same thing again.
My pdoc explained that what I experienced is similar to what I would have experienced had I been given a shot of Haldol.
I'm now on Zyprexa, Seroquel and Abilify. Only the Abilify gives me SOME akathesia at doses higher than 5 mg.
