Linkadge,
I am sorry you are feeling so bad. Perhaps you need some different meds to help? Have you tried Cogentin for your akathisia? There are tons of med combos to try. Did your gene test not tell you what the best meds for you may be? Do you use your cannabis every day? I am, and it works best at crushing the anxiety. Do you not take benzos? I know...there is the worry with dementia...I have the same worry. But I really think you need "here and now" anxiety relief, and a benzo WILL do that for you. What other meds have you tried??
Hospitalization is also another option. You DO have many options, and I know you are scared.But don't be afraid to experiment with different meds. I am far from perfect, and yes I have major financial fears as I am on poverty line gov't disability, but I am now actually considering part-time work to start. I don't have much material stuff, but I have a little kitty I love, food on my table, and a roof over my head. Do you know what mindfulness is? It's an excellent form of meditation, and will work when you get your meds straightened out. You know how to reach me if you want to talk.
Best,
