I’ve decided not to and just deal with the akathisia- random lip and tongue movements. I do not want to spend another five hours in the emergency room waiting!

@ Moose72
It sucks that you have to deal with the akathasia. I have it a little, tongue and lips as well from the Seroquel, but I'm already on so much crap, and in my case it's not horrible or very noticeable to anyone but me and the pdoc. Every time I have stopped Seroquel, it's gone away, but then again, nothing has worked as well for me for both mania and sleep, so I'd rather just stay on the Seroquel and not worry about it.
