Seroquel XR

first i would greatly appreciate answers to my question, thanks for reading...

Hey all, ok, i have a question for you...since my pdoc insists me to be on an anti psychotic/mood stabilizer for now since i'm now dx'ed "bipolar" with "psychotic features" or in an onset of "paranoia" or "schizophrenia" in their medical terms or w/e, and that i have not had much luck with any other antipsychotic but seroquel has been the best one for me so far, but i'm freaking out (hypochondria maybe? haha) about abnormal facial movements, etc...has anyone ever think they have experienced symptoms of tardive dyskinesia while on seroquel...right now i'm only on 150mg of seroquel xr a night...i'm upset if i'm developing TD while on seroquel xr because i've heard so many people having success with it...so basically wondering if i would be the only one in this case.

thanks,

The only problem I had with Seroquel is that it would put me into a deep sleep and then it was really hard to get up in the morning. If my kids needed me in the middle of the night, I was slow to respond. No TD whatsoever.

I take seroquel xr in the evening. It doesn't immediately knock me out like regular seroquel which is a really good thing. I haven't really had any hung-over feelings in the morning either.

During the first few months while taking seroquel I had really bad eye twitches and my top lip did some wierd trembling thing. It stopped after a while though. Im not on xr ? Take it 4 times daily. I really dont know whats normal or not ? Definatly talk to your doc or nurse!!
