Hello, first, excuse me if this isn't the proper board to make this thread, I honestly don't know where to post this.
I have been literally on and off of anti psychotics, mainly Seroquel(Quetiapine) and Risperdal(Risperidone) for almost 2 years since my dad passed away. In the beginning I didn't want to take them, but with the time I began to appreciate the sedating effects, thus making a better/proper use of my benzodiazepines.
After some months, 4 or 5, I began having strongly involuntary finger movements when taking Risperidone, and never experienced this before with the Quetiapine, so although I didn't tell my doctor about this, because, I don't know, I'm stupid, at least I stopped taking the medication.
A month or so later, eventually I began to take it again for sleep, and the first month I didn't have any problems, but then some nights the involuntary movement started again, so, I switched myself to Quetiapine, and was alright for a week.
Yesterday, after having lots of problems to sleep and taking a high dose of Clonazepam (I just write this because it may be related) the involuntary movement began again, but this time NOT on Risperidone, but on Quetiapine.
I don't want to tell my doc this because I just had a grand mal seizure a month ago and I REALLY need to sleep, my tolerance to benzodiazepines is sky high, so the only thing that makes me sleep are anti psychotics.
edit: I forgot to mention that lately I have been taking massive doses of Coffee
Thanks in advance.
