does anyone else have this problem

My mood haas fianally improved after being horribly voulatle and easily upset. But for some reason I can't sit still. Its really bad I feel like I'm having some kind of anxiety or something and that I'm constantly pacing or walking back and forth. Its like even when I was sitting down to study my flash cards with my mom I was just rocking back and forth on the floor cuz I couldn't sit still for even five minutes. This has been going on for almost three or four days now. It hasn't even been going on that long but I already feel like I can't take it anymore (its even caussing me problems at school) to the point where I am walking up and down the stair cases and I'm so stir crazy I can't study there either. I'm unsure of what to do at this point I've uped my Inveaga to help with anxiey I've been having lately maybe thats whats causing me to pace I should proably look up the side effects....I'm not really sure anymore I just don't want this interfearing with my life or my grades

I am a pacer. I rock sometimes, I fidget pretty much all the time. I doodle. Little movement things randomly. However, they ususally don't last so long. The only time it got out of control was when I was on Abilify. So I'm going to agree with ILADVOCATE and agree it is something to do with your medicines. Talk to your doctor because it is causing problems with your life.

Temporary movement disorders are common with (currently available) antipsychotics such including Invega. If you recieved permission from your psychiatrist to raise the dose ask them to prescribe a side effect pill that will help mitigate that those symptoms.
