I've been having a lot of problems with irritability and agitation lately, which, turns out (my psychiatrist caught this one) my antipsychotic Piportil has been causing akathasia, also known as internal restlessness, and also some general restlessness on the outside too.
He raised my Artane, which is an Anti-Parkinson's drug used to treat akathasia and other side effects from antipsychotics (such as extrapramidal symptoms and involuntary jerking body movements) and it's helping so far. I also don't have a cold anymore. My mood is less "mixed episode" and more "almost hypomanic, bouncing back and forth on that fine line".
So this is my irritation zentangle. It sucks, to be honest, but it's hard to do anything when you're irritated.
