Side effects - Flupenthixol, constant needing to walk (Akathisia)

[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
