> you should be on 40 mg, to see if you develop tics, if you do quit it immediatellyNot all people get movement disorders from atypicals.. in fact its only 5% and can be much less.
Unfortunately I am sensitive to them and high dose Seroquel produced a tic disorder. But a tic disorder is not tardive, not often. It gets worse with psychological stimulation and obsessing about the tic to the point where it becomes entirely psychological. I still take Seroquel because while I am not psychotic, I have a unique disorder that it helps organize my thoughts and maintain stabilization.
I'm not saying that this neurological study and report is what you have, but its worth really separating what is and isn't TD.
I don't like to have to take it, but for the time being, its a catch 22. I want to do the things in life that gain confidence and I want to be as much on par with life as I can and not listen to the negative side which really does pull me down.
I hope you improve -- if it is tardive, it can improve over time but that can take quite a while.
Best wishes
