I use metoclopramide to diminish nausea from both high opioid dosages and opioid withdrawal, however, I have a big problem with it.
It causes me to experience severe and highly comfortable akathisia. To those who don't know akathisia is defined as a syndrome characterized by unpleasant sensations of "inner" restlessness that manifests itself with an inability to sit still or remain motionless. So I get body twitches and the desperate need to keep tensing certain muscles and it's awful!
What I wanted to know was whether anyone else experiences or has experienced this before and if there's any way of stopping it! I've though about trying benzos or muscle relaxants but haven't got round to it yet. High dose morphine helps relax it but it doesn't go away.
Also, it isn't a symptom of withdrawal because it's present whilst high.
No answers thus far. Perhaps this doesn't belong in BDD as nobody here can answer. Could somebody please move it to ADD for me please?
