Yes, sometimes it takes two years to recover. I think I'll be a two-yearer. I've also seen three, even one five on these threads. I'm certain taking an SSRI is to blame for my delay.

Caffine clearly works on me again, but I don't feel that buzz I used to when I drank coffee. Oddly I felt it before I got covid. I wonder what would happen if I had an energy drink, those would make me feel a kind of high. I remember drinking them when I was a young teen, it was like kiddie cocaine. It never had the same effect on me as an adult though, but it did feel almost like ADHD medication and I would drink them while I was writing papers, before tests and during finals week.

Red bull mastered their marketing around that idea haha. It's a high priced drink in a tiny can that tastes terrible, unlike other drinks. Only reason people buy it is because it gives the illusion of being a drug.
 
I'm one month in and the akathisia is so bad it feels like I'll never live a normal life again. Doctors also aren't taking it seriously. What can I say to make them listen?
 
Never thought I'd be suicidal before now but I can't live like this. How do I keep going please someone give me some hope.

Yep so bad. I couldn’t sit still it drove me nuts. Always need to be moving. I took benstropine and it was magic stopped it straight away. Relief. It does go away but if you can’t stand it ask the doc for benstropine. It’s given to stop the side affects of antipsychotics.

Tell them the side affects are killing you. And you need something for the side affects.

How long until your akathisia stopped?
 
How can they even give people this absolute poison. Left hospital now im suicidal because of the akathisia and no one will take it seriously. It's completely ruining my life. Can't believe I feel like killing myself but I'm to much of a pusssy to follow through with thay idea.

I didnt have to take any meds for my severe akathisia from haldol. It just away on its own 4-6 weeks after the injection. I was then forced on invega for 10 months which surprisingly did not give me akathisia but yours will go away with or without medication

they never listen. they will just assume your mental is crazy
 
It feels like I am not touching on the ground, like I’m standing on my tiptoes.
There is such a slightest sense of what I want to do.

My body exists here but essence isn't there but nobody around me understands what I am saying.

Only shell of myself remains.

I can't make a meaningful connection to the world.

It is so weird and frustrating.

I can't be sure about any judgement I make now.

it is so hard to be positive right now.
