Discussion Metoclopromide akathisia

[Topaz111]

I've used metoclopromide before.
I took 10mg 3x a day for GERD.
A couple times I took two doses too close together (6 hours apart instead of 8) and experienced mild akathisia symptoms. I had to constantly move my legs, it was like RLS while being awake, I couldn't stop.
Thankfully it went away, but I really worry.. if I already experienced such effects from taking 2 pills 6 hours apart, how much worse will the involuntary movements be when I take 3 pills at once? I worry I will get severe involuntary movements, tremors, restlessness, then panic and stop the attempt and even possibly have permanent akathisia.
I also get horrible drowsiness and depression/anxiety from meto too so I am reconsidering this..
I can handle a single dose, I used to take it occasionally for nausea too and while the side effects are miserable, even just 10mg was highly effective for nausea for me.
Idk, it's sorta silly I am more afraid of how my body will react to 3x10mg of meto than how it will react to SN.. possibly because once I take the SN there is nothing else I have to do and just need to lay down and stay calm

How long after the second pill did you experience the akathisia?

That's why it is recommended to take hefty dose of benzos just 15-20 minutes before taking the 30mg of meto. The benzos will negate much of these side effects. Just don't take too much benzos as you may fall a sleep mid-protocol.
