Hi !

Since my withdrawal from Lexapro I also feel restless and agitated

when I wake up (usually around 4 a.m./5 a.m.). I also have akathisia.

Since when did you experience these symptoms?

Cheers

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

I've been on zyprexa more than once. The first time, I had akathisia

from the drug itself and tapered really fast to get off of it,

because it was just torture. I vomited so much from the withdrawal

that I ended up in the ER, and they sent me to the psych ward, where

I got put back on zyprexa. I have been trying to get off it ever

since. Went cold turkey back in November-bad idea. Had to reinstate

and have been tapering ever since. The restlessness and agitation in

the morning has been fairly constant, and the akathesia has been

intermittent. It's not as bad as it was--I can actually sit still

and distract myself by getting on the computer or watching movies

with my husband. I found that magnesium citrate helps somewhat.

How long have you had your akathisia? How do you cope?

Aren't these drugs the pits?

Hi ,

I get akathisia when I'm emotionally aroused. When I watch a

thrilling movie (which I try to avoid anyway) I can be pretty sure

that I'll wake up the next morning restless, agitated and nervous

with muscle jerks and spasms. I actually went out and got myself some

magnesium tablets (300 mg per dose) and that does seem to help

somewhat.

I never had any problems with akathisia before taking the psych meds.

I only took the stuff for 10 days, but that was enough to get me

started. I've been battling the symptoms for a year now. Things have

improved slightly, but it is taking ages.......To be honest, I'm

pretty frustrated with the whole thing. I would seriously wish that

the people who developed the meds would be forced to go through the

symptoms that we do....

Cheers

Jeff

Hi ,

I am currently taking 750 mg of magnesium citrate. I

had to increase to this dose very slowly becuase at

first I had diarrhea. I find the magnesium really

helps and I have had no signs of akathesia for a quite

awhile.

I hope this helps you.

** One of the very first things you get when you join is a healing

protocol that recommends magnesium. Magnesium does thousands of things

for you and everyone who has taken one of these drugs should be taking

it. Magnesium deficiency is very common today. In fact, it is quite

possible that people who experienced numerous adverse reactions to the

drugs they took did so because of a magnesium deficiency. The enzymes

that help to detoxify the drugs (P450 enzymes, as well as over 600

other enzymes) do not work properly unless adequate magnesium is inn

the body. Take some time to learn more about magnesium here:

http://www.mgwater.com/index.shtml

If anyone has been here for more than a week and is not taking at

the very least magnesium, calcium, fish oil, trace minerals, and Vit C,

you need to think about how dedicated you are to withdrawal and

recovery. Your body has been damaged. It repairs itself but only when

you give it what it needs for fuel to repair itself. If you think you

are getting all you need from food you need to go to the USDA Nutrient

Database and look up everything you eat. I comfortably say that there

is not one person on this list getting the minimum requirements from

food to maintain health nevermind the amount of nutrients needed from

food in order to heal. No one could eat that much. The Database is

here:

http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/
