Hi Ed :)
I've only tried Seroquel and Zyprexa. Both tend to give me akathisia. I really like Zyprexa as emergency medicine, it really works, however if I ever were to take it for a long period of time, I'm sure the akathisia would be excrutiating. Seroquel(even at a low dose) gave me akathisia too. I've taken plain old Benedryl and Ativan to quell the symptoms. I'm wondering if Wellbutrin would help, as strange as it sounds. Wellbutrin tends to make more dopamine available, you never know. They say amphetamines help too, even though they're stimulating.> Hi!!
