This happened to me on Zyprexa at high dose, and it was eased by lowering the dose. I discontinued the medicine. I personally feel it is inexcusable for there not to at least be a doctor on call for you to talk to this about, and agree fully with Old School on all Old School's thoughts.
May I asked why you are taking the increased dosage? Is this for bipolar to help with mood stabilization/antimanic effect?
TD/EPS is serious business. You don't want this baggage with you for the rest of your life.
