My bipolar son exhibits a lot of the symptoms of akathesia but also has adhd, lately his anxiety level is so high it is off the charts, hair trigger anger, nausea and vomiting before school due to anxiety, can't sit still, can't stop talking, a lot of these symptoms he has always had but lately the anxiety, anger, can't sit still has gotten really bad. Akathesia was brought up to me today and it sounds a lot like what could be going on and he does take Abilify and has had problems with starting and stopping. Is there a way to tell the difference between the two? Other things to look for? Does anyone know?
