Anyone else ever had akathisia as a side effect of an IV infusion?
I’m looking for someone, anyone, who understands what I’m going through.
If you or someone you know would be interested in chatting with me about your experience, it would help me out a lot. Thank you ☺️

@britt@mstdn.games I didn't have akathisia as a side effect of medication, but there was a time when I suddenly couldn't sit still for very long. Nothing *hurt*, but I was *uncomfortable* if I didn't move around every ?15 minutes? or so --- and I'm someone who before would read a book for five hours in a row. Visiting a chiropractor fixed it for me. I remember how very strange it was and how language fell short when trying to describe my predicament. The best I was able to do was, "You know how you don't hurt, but are *uncomfortable* if you drive for like six hours in a row? That's what it feels like." I sincerely hope you find something that works for you.
