Seroquel. Can you reduce the dose or stop it? I'm surprised and disappointed your doctor didn't go that route. He knows that's an antipsychotic thing, unless he is trying to pretend that these so-called newer ones don't do that. They do. I know. It only gets worse with time. Legs now. Eyelids, lips, fingers, arms, stomach muscles later. Sometimes permanent even after stopping the drug. Klonopin will calm the muscles but will do nothing to stop the underlying neurological damage that is underway.
I could be wrong. It's just that as a 10 year user of atypical antipsychotics I recognize from firsthand experience their undesirable consequences. They are handed out like candy like they are safe or something. Safer than old ones? Yeah. Safe? No.
