Hi Jedi,
Thanks for responding. The muscle spasms aren't painful. They are just super annoying and have become frequent. I see my pdoc in about 2 weeks, but I am thinking about calling her. I am very anxious about this and keep thinking that I must stop this medication fast, so that this doesn't become permanent. I know this is probably irrational, and I am not a medical doctor, but I also realize it isn't a good idea to stop the medication suddenly (although I am not on a high dose). It's just stuck in my head. I'd be able to cope with this better, if I had reassurance that this will not be permanent. I have no other side effects from it.

It scares me when I hear about Parkinson's-like side effects from these antipsychotics. I am also on Seroquel to help with sleep and mood stabilization as well, as far as AP's go. I experienced something similar on 600mg on Seroquel, but I am on a lower dose than that, and it went away when my pdoc lowered it.
