I think it would be better if you went to the ER if you are that uncomfortable.
The only DIY alternative I can see is: -- suspend Latuda (pdoc will prolly d/c it anyway -- at least halve it if you don't want to skip it) -- take Benadryl, provided the pharmacist confirms it is compatible with ALL your meds. This drug is used in emergency treatment of akathisia. Benzos are unlikely to help with akathisia -- different neurotransmitters involved. Not much is likely to help unless the Latuda is at least reduced if not stopped. ======= BENADRYL DOSING If you have taken Benadryl before, and know that your body finds it sedating, then take a 50 mg first dose, otherwise just take 25 mg. -- Subsequently, take 25 mg every 6 hours for a day. -- Then try shifting the doses further apart -- 8-10 hours. I am so sorry I didn't catch this yesterday! |
