No I don't suffer from that, but it sounds like something that can be easily controlled with medication.

Sorry to hear that. That is why when you are on a medication if it start effecting you negatively you need to get off of it right away. I know because I got severe depression induced by an antibiotic. It was a rare reaction. I was able to get over it by taking TCA medication. Now I am OK now.
There are exceptions of minor symptoms that can easily be controlled. But some symptoms are much more important to listen to.
It's a similar reaction. my body and brain have been shocked from stopping the med, iknow people in similar situations from flox damage, brain damage, which doctors are only just realising can happen. People can get akathisia from antibiotics too. Sometimes the body and mind is so severely damaged that it can't tolerate meds, my body burns like acid is poured over it, intense depersonalisation, derealization, psychosis, tremors, burning headaches, pulsatille tinnitus, on a daily basis. I have spent the last two years trying to raise awareness that this can happen. It's rare, but it still needs to be recognised. Similar to peanut allergies I guess, doesn't happen to the majority, but can happen.

Omg they tried to give me that and I immediately felt like shit, barfed it up five minutes later. Shithead doctors were like "it's impossible to feel anything."
and I was like "I feel you're a shithead, Dr. Shithead."
I mean I'm happy for anyone who gets a positive effect, but it's not for me.
I probably know you from the Facebook groups? If you're on there. I always wonder how many I know on here

Well in your case you should have tapered off. Everyone doctor should know that you need to tapper off medications that you become addicted to.Yes and many have ctb that I knew - I'm in the Facebook groups. I have brain damage from drugs and I've fought aka for a long long time
I'm not on any group for that condition you have named. I'd never heard of it before. My symptoms are I believe from multiple autoimmune diseases I have. I have neuropathy and dysautonomia which are part of the symptoms of one lovely A I disease I have

Once I had severe akathisia and dystonia and these were the worst 3 days in my life. Felt like an agony.I've had this too, but I was lucky that while it was in my legs I could either walk around to relieve it or sit on a chair or bed in the lotus position so the muscles stayed strained and it would give me relief. When it started getting into my arms and chest I had no way to stop it though.Similar threads
