Yo Ed,
>It can rapidly drive people to suicide if it's not diagnosed and treated, especially if the dose of the AP is raised. This can happen if the patient's agitation is attributed to a worsening of their 'underlying condition.'How can I make sure that my pdoc realises how horrible this is? If it's underestimated like you say, she'll just think it's no problem and that I'm just being pedantic.
>Nytol (NOT Nytol Herbal!)
Cool, thanks. I have made a note of it for in an emergency.
>Is the procyclidine making you euphoric?
I dunno, possibly!! I certainly felt much more relaxed and good after taking it, but maybe I was just relieved the akathisia had gone? In any case, a little bit of euphoria is good methinks ;) hehe
