I have a call in to the pdoc today to see if i can split up my dose of propranolol for the morning and night. Every night about 20 min after I take my Saphris 10 mg I get irritated and have to get up and walk around. They said it could be akathesia but thought it would go away after they decreased the Zyprexa from 20 mg per day down to the PRN dose of 5 mg.It still happens with just the Saphris. Every night it happens. I hope they can get the meds right so I can feel normal again. Oh about the B6- I read that it can be used to treat akathesia- last night I tried 200 mg (2pills) and it seemed to help- it kind of makes you sleepy. I kind of want to prevent the akathesia feeling not have to treat it after it starts. Ugh that feeling sucks
