Too many medications: It is not usually a good idea to be mixing so many different mind altering medications. Discuss your mental and neurological issues with just one doctor and together you can come to a healthy and effective strategy to accomplish your goals, good luck!

Akathisia is from : the Greek word "inability to sit". Seroquel (quetiapine), (quetiapine) Celexa &/or Trazodone can cause akathisia; Seroquel (quetiapine) has fewer EPS than other neuroleptics. Benzodiazepines treat akathisia. In one study, 0.38% of people on Trazodone developed akathisia. Did your doctor order an EKG after adding Trazodone ? Why dopamine for mucus? Please call your primary care doctor & psychiatrist., if you haven't done so already.
