Psychiatrically speaking, what would happen if you were to temporarily discontinue Seroquel? It might make sense to see if the dystonia resolves if you stop taking it. If it does resolve, you might then try a series of alternate antipsychotic medications. Aside from Clozaril, Abilify probably has the lowest incidence of dystonic side effects, although akathisia may emerge. I have been taking 10 mg/day or higher of Abilify beginning 10 years ago. I actually started at 20 mg/day beginning on day 1. Aside from some restlessness during week 1, I have not experienced any EPS. The weight-gain sucks, though.
