Is this mild Akathisia?


[Mi...]

Recommended Posts

So, first off, I post way too much, so please forgive me.

 

I had a new symptom pop up tonight. I have this strange, deep tickling/tingling feeling that started in my legs. I can’t explain it any other way than just the NEED to move my legs. There was a buzzing in my feet and ankles. Now that tickling, need to move sensation is in my shoulders and arms. I keep pushing my feet into the bed like I’m peddling a bike but that doesn’t make it feel any better. Maybe even worse, but I can’t stop myself!

 

Has anyone experienced this?

Hmmm, it depends on a few things.  Akethesia is an internal restlessness that causes you to want to move or pace or wish you could climb out of your skin. It can be different levels of intensity. But then there is also just the weird neurological symptoms of like a vibrating or buzzing feeling in your limbs or whole body even, that kind of makes you move because you want to shift to make it stop.

It could be either of these......they both suck! Im so sorry!

I dealt with both too so I know

They both went away around month 3 or 4 for me.

 

As a side note, I see you started Prozac recently, so just keep an eye on it as you start to increase, as Prozac can be a bit stimulating.
