I had taken Quetiapine 400 mg daily (for a week 600 mg) for a period of 16 months but quit the medicine almost 1.5 years back.
Recently over the past 5 months I have beginning to have rapid movements of legs when I go under stress. I wanted to know that whether TD can develop even 1.5 years AFTER quitting the AntiPsychotic medications?.
I have also been diagnosed with SZ but don’t want to resume taking drugs due to this reason too.
If it is me, and I find the information from a reputable web site like nih.gov or a legal drug maker’s web site (when I’m taking or considering asking for that drug), the Dr. had better listen and consider, or I’m getting a new doctor. Sometimes doctors just don’t stay current with the research being done.
