lanry78 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 On saphris I am doing much better but at night the akathisia is horrible. In the morning and throughout the day it is still pretty unbearable. I also take 3 mg of klonopin already for anxiety which helps enough to make it bearable but not much more. It is still difficult to live with, Do other benzos help with akathisia as well - say xanax ? I know I tried Ativan and it didn't do anything for my anxiety so I quit before noticing if it helped with the akathisia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Generally, the best meds for akathasia are cogentina, artane, and benadryl. There are a few others, I can't remember the names off the top of my head. Benzos can help a bit, but not as well as the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanry78 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Thanks system. Will have to talk to pDoc when I get back in. Wait time is around 2 months unfortunately though. I can't see taking benadryl during the day, too many of those and I get drowsy. Real drowsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
