raypach,

 

You should call your doctor immediately or go to an ER at a hospital because you feel so ill. We can try to comfort you, but it sounds like you need to be seen in person by a medical professional right away. Please let us know how you are doing.

Raypach, I feel the same way...a horrible feeling indeed. ((((hugs))))

[[Ho...]]

raypach,

 

Nicolette is right. We are limited as to what we can do here to help you. You need to be seen by a doctor right away. We are a support group. That's all we can offer you here. It sounds like you need more than our support. Please get to an ER immediately.

 

I have some resources for you at this link:

Please get help asap.

Ya I'm here I'm sorry I did not mean it that way  I had my klon in hand and I was ready to take a pill to see if it would help  I did not take any  cause I don't want prolong this bad withdrwal I just want my life. Back

I hear ya, man.  My life, right now, feels like one big panic attack.  Hang in there.

You're not alone. Im feeling the same way. Trying to get thru the day like you. I'm only two weeks into symptoms.

 

Knowing im not alone has helped.

Ray how long have you been off?  Has the akathesia improved slowly?  If you are slowly improving then you might not want to reinstate.  But if it's same or worse maybe reinstate a low dose and do a slow taper. I have had awful akathesia. I Harvey add Valium because I also wasn't sleeping. I haven't yet began my taper but am hoping if I go slow enough I can mminimize it. It is the worst symptom ever--well along with insomnia. So I hear ya. Hang in there.

I hope you get to a doctor. You might want to consider that your bp machine is giving you a wrong reading. With a pulse pressure of 15, I think you would be in trouble. Check it again when the systolic and diastolic pressures are so close.

hi tinaca  I still have this restlessness it goes from mild to extreme  I just cant sit and relax if I stay busy im alright.  except for yesterday morning it was the worse it ever been I felt toxic all day I was able to sleep 4 hours last night but I been restless allday Its a yo yo ride from day to to day its worse then others. like right now its in-between I could sit and type on my computer because im doing something but its still there im always pinching my leg or my stomach its a coping skill it helps me focus on the pinch then on the restlessness akathesia  before all this I had nerves of still was able to sit allday behind a wheel and drive a semi and pull doubles and tripple  trailers mountain  driving.  use to be able and come home watch tv with my son go eat at a restaurant take road trips with my family.  I still work I get up every morning with this horrable filling hoping it would just leave  but now I have an intown route and im able to move around allday  if it wasnt for work I would go crazy I dread the weekends

Ray you've been off benzos 4 months? And not any better?  This should improve soon. You are a hero Ray. It's an awful malady. I once couldn't sit and have lunch at a restaurant and had to pace. I have paced all day before.  It was always better at night. It is pure torture I know. Many have said it gets much better with time. I think you are close ray. I will pray for you. Just think how much you will appreciate something so simple as sitting still one day. I wonder if it has to do with our dopamine levels?

I have researched every thing they say if you have low iron that could cause it so I went to the doctor yesterday and had them check my ferriton levels to see if thats low  should find out beggening of next week
