Ok...I'm wanting to know if this is the tardive dyskensia that everyone keeps talking about. If I take my nightly dose of seroquel a couple of hours before I go to bed and stay up under the effects, I have an wierd sensation in my legs that makes them want to move and I have no control over it. My legs must absolutely be moving. I guess I'm looking for a deffinition of TD and maybe a answer to what causes this...
Thanx

Hi,
What you're experiencing is almost certainly akathisia caused by the Seroquel. Alternatively, if you had the same problem before you started the Seroquel, it could be restless legs syndrome.

If I'm not mistaken, the incidence of TD from Seroquel is _quite_ low - it was one of my concerns when I started on it.
