For as long as I can remember my feet will always be moving, whether I'm sitting or laying in bed. What does this mean?

It might be your meds. I take seroquel and my body gets soooo restless afterward. I can't stand it!!

Some meds, especially AP's can cause this. If it is a reaction from your meds, you need to discuss it with your doctor ASAP

Maybe a symptom of akathisia? I had to be moving around all the time when I had it. It was awful. Made me want to jump out of my skin. In my case, it was Geodon that caused it. When I got hospitalized, a doctor prescribed Cogentin and I was able to relax for the first time in weeks.

I would let your pdoc know what's going on. Maybe he/she can do something to help.

With me it's an early sign of hypomania and gets worse as I progress to full-blown mania. I've been known to fidget so much that I actually lost a couple of pounds.
