Hey Ed,
I've never tried Thorazine but it sounds like you and I have had similar experiences on APs. I get severe akathisia and panic attacks if I take them for too long, like I could blow right out of my skin, LOL even a low dose of friggin Seroquel did that to me. I get this internal intense urge to move, and I feel like I could walk around the world 100 times and it still wouldn't be enough, much like an agitated depression/mixed state. It's hard because those meds are excellent for intrustive thinking and whatnot. I wish they would come up with one that didn't rub you out with akathisia and other EPS stuff. Now I just take one as needed off and on as sort of a "reset" if things are getting out of hand, but it would be nice to have one that was reliable for long term use.
