Quetiapine used for 4 days, can it cause restlessness

[[Dr...]]

Hi all, 

Hope this message finds you as well as possible! 

Quick question: I took Quetiapine for 4 days recently:

Day 1: 2x 12,5mg

Day 2: 2x 6.25 and 12,5 mg

Day 3: 12,5 mg

Day 4: 12,5 mg

I took it this past Monday night for the last time. Since taking it, I have felt more restlessness. Especially in my legs. Also a sort of warm, unpleasant sensation in my legs. There was restlessness before, but it now seems intensified. 

Could this be from the Quetiapine and will this go away again? I only took it for 4 days and will not use it anymore

I'm sorry to hear that @[PE...]. It's there anything you can do for relief? And will this go away?

That's the standard for RLS. It's not over the counter i think you need a subscription.
