Flupenthixol, constant needing to walk

[doublezero]

The last time I was in the nuthouse they put me on a depot(injection in the ass cheek) of dipixel (maybe the wrong spelling).
Whilst on this drug I had to keep walking, i had to force myself to sit/lay down or even stand still. It was almost impssible to sleep, and as soon as I had to start walking.
Eating was almost impossible as well.
It was very hard to control my body as well, putting on clothes, especialy trousers and socks, playing guitar and even getting into bed was very hard. My feet used to get stuck on the sheets.
I put a walkometre on one day and by 8/9 pm I had walked over 17 miles I had spent most of the day indoors.
Thankfully they changed my meds after quite a few weeks and the nuroleptic side effects wore off. It was so good to just sit down without the feeling that i have to move.
The feeling of giving up Heroin with buzzy legs was very similar although very mild compared to the dipixel.
Valium helped a little but not much.
Has anyone ever been on this drug or had similar effects from something else.
Thanx

Umm...depakote perhaps? No clue regards 'dipixel.' Can you check the spelling with a doctor or other health care professional? Also please read the rules regards self-incrimination. Such is why you see SWIM everywhere around these parts. Rules are here:

I forgot the old swim thing, thought it was ok when just talking about personal prescribed medication.
I will check about the spelling mate. It was an older type of antipsycotic.

Depixol is a depot preparation of Flunpenthixol, and old stylee anti-psychotic.

The sensation your monkey describes sounds like akathaesia (or akathisia if one is American). An unpleasant sensation of inner restlessness, which means you just can't sit still.

Akathaesia is a well recognised side effect of anti-psychotics

When I was given Phenegran for nausea I could not sit or lay down I had I felt so antzie oh my gosh it was horrible sounds like you may of had an allergic reaction possibly, benadryl worked for me.

[doublezero]

no i didnt have an alergic reaction, is was a neuroleptic side effect. I was a complete psycho for weeks, i thought anti psycotics were supposed to do the opposite. Hence the ANTI. It was probably developed by the nazi's, like most drugs of today. War machines

Phenergan is promethazine, an antihistimine, commonly in codeine mixtures and used solo for nausea. Nothing like the antipsychotic OP is talking about :p
