I am so sorry about you loss Janet. So glad you being pro active in making people aware of the dangers of akhastesia. My doctor prescribed for me 6mg of Lorazapam daily for anxiety due to ptsd from breathing problems. After 1.5 years he abruptly cut me off the Lorazapam. The rebound symptoms nearly killed me. Had i not been mentally strong and had support from my amazing wife not sure what i might have done to myself. I suffered from akhastesia for nearly a month. Ended up in er 2 times and the doctors where totally indifferent to my problem caused by withdrawal. They thought I was seeking drugs. The doctors have no clue of the dangers of anti depressants. I find it crazy the pharmaceutical companies do not educate doctors on these widely prescribed drugs. Thank you so much for the eye opening podcast, God bless bless

Need to agree with Kay Lang! Where might the help be for people who suffer for long perids of time, or even chronically, who fight to stay alive and fight to deal with symptoms, many of which are physical? Where can that kind of person go for help!! It says “talk to your doctor” but doctor’s don’t know how to help?

Right see no answers just like BENZOS no help nothing -- they let you suffer in humanely -- but opiate crisis -Alcohol , heroin -Merhadone - subs - mat programs people do wonderful but BENZOS are dying just like akathisia -- sad medical community better step it up on the help front -- they are busy writing those scripts now find how to get us off comfortably 🔥🔥🔥

Wow Ty Ty ty ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Thanks

It's nice that you are warning people however the people who didn't kill themselves which are enduring the damage of akathsiia have zero help, so if you recognize it when it happens to you but there is no place to help and that is a shame. Once this happens to you and your in this state there is zero help.

I completely agree with your statement. It's great to get the word out about akathisia and warn people so that they will be able to recognize it in themselves and loves ones. However, pharmaceutical companies and the medical profession have been aware of akathisia for decades and yet it's very very rare for a doctor to mention it to a patient as a possibility when they are presented with the symptoms, particularly the intense agitation that can lead to suicidality. I've had many many doctors talk to me about how the problem is that I am non-compliant and that I am not managing my severe mental illness as I should be and that I actually need to be prescribed more medication (more antipsychotics, higher doses) because I'm the problem. I suffered akathisia for years when I was being drugged with a cocktail of different psych drugs after having electric shock treatments and I only know what it is now because I did my own research. No doctor ever considered that my worsening condition and my chronic suicidality was the result of the drugs they were prescribing. And I still am afraid to go to the doctor to this day, afraid I won't be believed and that I'll be coerced into getting back on psych drugs.

Thank you so much for this. you know five years later I’m still suffering with Akathisia and I don’t have any medical help! still no medical help 💔 five years I don’t even have a diagnosis 😱 I can’t get a diagnosis, no disability ,nothing🥺 the only help I’ve received has been from the community and my partner thank you for doing this❤️‍🔥 it’s much needed. I am still housebound sitting in my home begging for help . trying to find any kind of help company ,anything …I’m still making videos . thank you for including me in this fight. Hopefully one day humanity won’t have to suffer from such tortures as these. I am mourning the loss of a friend someone who also had akathisia . I lost him years ago when I was in acute …yes years ago. But it feels like it just happened . the trauma in this ……there’s just no words for for it. I still have no family, no friends,here . I almost lost my husband because of his injury . I don’t know why but ,something woke him up . he’s been a wonderful help now. It took him four years to wake up to the fact that I was telling him the truth. but there’s only so much he can do. My life was completely devastated by this injury. No more grandchildren for me 💔 no life really🥺 So again I thank you for this God bless you❤️‍🔥God bless the warriors xoxo
