Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have epilepsy which is now in remission. I only take 25mg of Quetiapine at night. After I exercise and my muscles are stiff, I get leg tremors, usually in one leg at a time. What could be causing these tremors. I have a twin sister with Multiple Sclerosis but my scan came up clear.
Its common side effects include insomnia, dry mouth, weight gain, headache, and agitation. It can also cause extrapyramidal symptoms such as tremors or muscle stiffness. Consult your doctor for an alternate effective but a safer medicine for you.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician

What Causes Tremors And Stiffness In Legs?
Hi, Based on the history you seem to have developed side effects of Quetiapine. Quetiapine is an antipsychotic drug commonly prescribed to treat schizophrenia in adults and major depressive disorder. Its common side effects include insomnia, dry mouth, weight gain, headache, and agitation. It can also cause extrapyramidal symptoms such as tremors or muscle stiffness. Consult your doctor for an alternate effective but a safer medicine for you. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
