Does anyone get weird shakes from Seroquel? I especially get them after sleeping. My knees are wobbly and it makes it scary to go down the stairs. My hands also twitch a lot and I feel my head wanting to shake. It's freaking me out. I'm going to talk to my pdoc about it this week, but any input from you guys would be helpful.

I can't remember what dose I was on, all I know is it was the highest dose allowed to be prescribed at the time, the only time I started getting the shakes was when it started to comatose me and I would force myself to try and move, it put me into such a zombie like state, I loved it because it did help and it helped me sleep, but everytime I moved I couldn't hold myself up because my knees would shake, so yeah it can do that to you
