Restlessness

Hi roger,
Perhaps you got restless due to the drug/drugs you received to prevent nausea before the Vidaza injection. What you call "heebby Geebies, couldn't sit still" can be what the doctors call akathisia :

If you think the description of akathisia corresponds to your symptoms you should ask for anti-nausea drugs that never give this kind of adverse reactions. Some persons are much more sensitive to akathesia than other and should never take drugs with this adverse effect.

Here are two drugs that can cause akathisia Maxolon (Octamide, Reglan) and Torecan:
