> Blepharospasms are common human conditions. TD is Tardive, as in late -- after many years of exposure to all antipsychotics. It could conceivably be a transient in your medication adjustment; twitches are a common side effect of a lot of psychoactive substances. I understand it is an annoyance but I would just mention it to your doctor the next time you see him/her. The chances are far greater that it is a passing phase.

IV Benadryl is the choice of agent to stop that, its called an oculogyric crisis. But that is very extraordinarily rare with something like Seroquel.Thanks yxibow,
The fluttering eyelid disappeared, now I have a fluttering spot on my scalp. My pdoc seems unconcerned, so I will try to ignore it.
Thanks,
