Does anyone feel that your legs fall asleep or almost like a paralysis sensation every now and then, making it hard to get out of bed? Sometimes my feet feel weird too, like I can't move them properly. My mother experienced something similar on Gabapentin that she was taking for back pain. My mouth also gets extremely dry at night to the point where I have to keep drinking water constantly....but only at night.

I was thinking that all these symptoms were from Seroquel. Now, I am wondering if it has been Gabapentin all along. Anyone experience anything similar on either Gabapentin or Seroquel?

Hi,

I took Seroquel several years ago...I don’t recall having any issues other than excessive daytime lethargy (which is why I switched APs).

I’ve never taken Gabapentin.

I know the above isn’t very helpful, but I wanted you to know I’m thinking of you.

Hi,
I used to experience a disconnect between my brain and legs when I was on a mix of Epilim, Lithium and Abilify. It was awful especially because it usually would happen in public. I would literally be at the top of a flight of stairs thinking I don’t remember how to do stairs. Then when my brain did remember I’d have the paralysed feeling where I couldn’t move my legs.
This problem stopped as soon as I stopped the Abilify. I’ve never taken Gabapentin.

Thank you. Yes, the daytime lethargy for me was especially bad on high doses for me, but it's a little more manageable now (luckily). The sedation still knocks me out before bed, which is a good thing for the insomnia, but sometimes it feels so overpowering that it's a bit scary.

I get dry mouth if I increase my Seroquel.

I am guessing the leg symptoms are from the gabbies, since it works for nerve pain. I haven’t had the leg issues, but I will end up stumbling a little on the higher dose (I take half what I used to).
