Restlessness with Insight

Feb 03 2012

I've been feeling better the past wk with this 4 wk 'low' lifting some, but i have this ongoing restlessness that is uncomfortable, i often go to my bed and meditate (listening to a relaxation EMDR CD), pray and read to try to overcome this feeling,  I wonder if its caused from Abilify, its still a low dose 5 mgs but i know a side-effect of this med is reslessness. If it gets bad i can take a Klonopin which i've had to only a few times. Today i did not do anything had a lazy hazy day and i'm feeling guilty i'm being hard on myself i called my husband and he told me its ok and not to worry about it and to take it easy, he's always so supportive, but my emotional part of my brain is in conflict with my logical (left & right brain) they clash quite frequently (which is ok sometimes as long as one is gentle with the other as i've learned in therapy)...the logical beats the emotional up sometimes and this guilt i'm feeling could be giving me anxiety and restlessness. I took a Klonopin and it did take the edge off and calm me.

I'm overall grateful for the depression to have lifted.

I know the restlessnes to well...it has been my major complaint right now and I have had to take my klonopin every day but many days it makes me tired. I hate it. I am glad your lows are improving. It seemsd to be a trade off all the time. Lows vs restlessness.
