well put---'restless-leg' syndrome is well-known.if you search 'medicinal caanabis', which stops it cold, you will find the 1998 harvard abstract expressing strong regret that the legal aspects hinder research on this plant's known therapeutic uses. as for seroquel? barring 'NMS', no AP should be stopped abruptly. if your dr. is 'up-to-date', he'll know you must titrate down. why? abrupt cessation may produce the symptoms a neuroleptic was designed for---the schizophrenias. this appears a greater risk for 'affective disorder clients'---do not expect your dr. to be aware of this. 1st, bad drs. abound. you seem to have found a good one. 2nd, even great drs. are so busy treating clients all day, they simply don't have time to rush home, hit the net, and sacrifice their 'family or personal free-time' for your, and other's interest alone. furthermore, even if they did such, the blizzard of data is deep. as i've posted, a trial of the atypical neuroleptic risperdal clearly produced 'slow' 'atypical neurolepic malignant syndrome' in me. after 3 month's of incontinence, odd high fevers, and becoming so 'rigid', i could not stoop or cycle, i knew these symptoms were trouble. i titrated down on my own, and too quickly, and my bp1 became schizophrenia---for months i awoke to terror no bipolar may imagine. you don't want that. 2 years later 'atypical NMS' was finally recognised in the lit. only 3 months ago my shrink, who also teaches at the U of Virginia, returned from a 'dr. conference' which in great part focused on ANMS---a slower titration may have saved me the experience of 'temp' schizophrenia'---go easy,, good luck
