Thanks for bringing akathisia up.

It is a terrible thing to have, I suffered badly for a few weeks with it during my taper from klonopin and would have to walk the streets for hours, I remember if I needed to cross a road and the traffic was heavy I would either walk in circles or take another route rather than stop walking, sounds funny now but I could not even stop moving when I needed to have a pee.

These were some of my darkest days, akathisia along with tinnitus almost made me think of giving up in the worst way a person can give up.

Horribly sad.  Shared x 50 by email to Cancer Clinic doctors here.  Hope they read it.  Thank you for writing Hope.

Thank you for writing this. This eerily reminds me of what happened to Christine Narloch and what she went through, as well.
