A member asked:
Is there any possibility that restlessness/akatishia caused by taking seroquel (quetiapine) can be permanent even a year after stopping the pill? it won't go away.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unfortunately-- yes: Side effects of akathisia've stopped after 4 years from D/C'ing a drug but in 1-5% of cases of akathisia in patients on drugs that can cause this type of movement disorder it has remained permanent. The idea is that an underlying condition may've been unmasked by the medication. If you'd like more help on possible treatments I'm happy to help: www.healthtap.com/drsaghafi
