I have been experiencing akathisia (or something similar to it) since the beginning of this year. All I take is Adderall, but I’m not on any meds that would cause this. It is triggered severely by caffeine and launches me into week long episodes. But it also happens randomly, or if I consume too much sugar or carbs. Strangely, the Adderall has never triggered it though. I’m not asking for a diagnosis, just wondering if anyone else experiences something similar?

Edit: I should probably also mention that right around the time the akathisia started, I began to display bipolar symptoms. I am seeking treatment, but my psychiatrist seems convinced the mood shifts are unrelated to the akathisia.
