jarn Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I can't find a lot of stuff out there on this. We have some CBD capsules here (long story; Toby was trying them for sleep - nothing helps that guy sleep). I have akathisia on zyprexa, it's worse at bedtime. I don't know if it stops me from sleeping or just that I find zyprexa slightly activating, but I'm having to take ativan to help with the akathisia and sleep. I don't think long-term benzo use is healthy. Does anyone have any knowledge about taking CBD to help with akathisia? I have an e-appointment with my pdoc April 8th so will also talk to him about that then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarn Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Update: took a capsule last night (it's got THC/CBD) instead of ativan (the capsules are expired, but deets) and while it didn't totally rid the akathisia it reduced it considerably. I still had trouble sleeping but I don't know if that's the zyprexa or what. I WAS able to wake up this morning and went for a run at lunch instead of napping.
