I use 50 mg of Seroquel for sleep with great results.

high doses of Seroquel gave me absolutely horrible akathisia in the past. It was torture-like. I know I was unusual in my reaction. I later retried Seroquel with Gabapentin which calmed down akathisia, but Seroquel was not effective as a mood stabilizer for me.

What I am referring to now as EPS is this weird sensation of my limbs becoming stiff and the subjective feeling that my body is about to go into a spasm. I also feel that I am not in control of my body. I wonder if this qualifies as dystonia.

I do not have TD but I have had instances of transient dyskinesia from combining APs with marijuana. I no longer use marijuana.
