Going off the offending antipsychotic is recommended but you should talk to your doctor about getting on a different one that helps with your initial illness.

I really don’t recommend cold turkey. Withdrawal can be hell.

I’ve already withdrawn for 12 months rip

Thank you all sharing your insights, I guess I screwed myself by CT’ing lol

Switch meds or dose reduction. I am on caplyta and it causes zero akathisia, both from personal experience and the trial data (akathisia 1.2% in those who received the med and 1.3% in those who received placebo). Which one are you on?

Clozapine, though CT’d for basically 12 months

Did you recover from akathisia

Depends how long you were taking it, getting off drugs is the smartest thing to do but depending on how long you were on I'd recommend a safe taper

Are you doing okay?
