Where is the twitching on your person? Face? Ankle?

The reason I stopped my Abilify against psychiatric advice some months ago was because I had developed a horrific tremor (not due to lithium, due to Abilify) and could not sign my name. It made me mad, so I stopped it. Then last month, I had a massive psychotic and manic episode. Big surprise.

Since resuming Abilify and adding Seroquel, I now have Periodic Limb Movement Disorder. It is awful and hard to treat, but if I stop my APs, I will just get psychotic again and next time, probably end up back in the hospital for who-knows-how-long.

Sooooo, I totally agree that you must tell your pdoc what is happening now. Don't wait. But just remember, as you are deciding together what to do, that stopping atypicals is not without its own risks for us. Just keep that in mind. Sending you positive vibes and calm muscles...
