If you start to feel as though your legs feel uncomfortable, and you can't stop moving them, then you might need a side effect pill just for that called Cogentin. I take it because I startd to need it when I was put on Seroquel, but you might not. This really might help you a lot. It has me.


She wants me to take 200mg the first night, then try 100mg each night and then check in with her Monday
