[QUOTE="LynnG, post: 189042"] Thank you both for the response, I guess what bothers me the most is we (son and I) were told to report ANY tremors immediately and the Seroquel.com site themselves. My frustration comes in with the fact for 5 weeks I fought to get son to see the doctor at the facility as his symptons increased 100 fold. Short of the tongue flapping uncontrollably he has all the major manifestations of this which were only mild tremors 5 weeks ago. Research has shown me that long term use of Seroquel and drugs like it can cause this, and one Seroquel.com's own site it also says: Another serious side effect reported with SEROQUEL and medicines like it is tardive dyskinesia (TD)uncontrollable movements of the face, tongue, or other parts of the body. TD may become permanent, and the risk of TD is believed to increase as the length of time on and the amount of these medications increase. While TD can develop in patients taking low doses for short periods, this is much less common. There is no known treatment for TD, but it may go away partially or completely if treatment is stopped So, scratching my head and naturally like any parent of a difficult child, I am scared, heartbroken as he already had mental disabilities to now be faced with the potential of a physical one also is terrifying.
