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...
Thank you. I have twitching in my thigh and foot pretty bad. Just hoping this won't be permanent.
