I made a medical discovery today. I have been on psych meds for most of my life.

Years ago I tolerated them much better than I do now. The worst symptoms I ever had is caused by some medications and it's called Akathisia. I'm sure several of you know about this. I read somewhere where this one symptom causes people to kill themselves more than depression. Indeed I have told a couple doctors that if I had to live with the severity of that symptom such that I have a few times during the last few years - and get no relief I probably would do the same thing. Along with it I sometimes get this thing where my whole body starts to spasm.

Also I seem to get akathisia sometimes now for no reason but it us not as bad as it was. Maybe it is restless legs idk.

This morning I woke up with it. I get it now in my arms, (Yes you can get it in your arms). So what I did is take a big dropper full of Indica and after about an hour I was tired and layed down and then felt my whole body relax. I have never had that type of relief from that horrible symptom before. It is amazing. The only problem is I have sleeping on an off throughout today and I am still really sleepy. (I don't think I should drive a car.) I can adjust the dose. It took a while to kick in, (about an hour) but it works better than any prescribed medication I have taken.

So I wanted to share this in case anyone has the same issue.
