Hi, spencer!
It certainly sounds suspicious and there have been a very few reported cases:
"Postmarketing reports: Dysarthria, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, nystagmus, PARKINSONISM SPECTRUM, restless legs, tardive dyskinesia"
If you determine this is a side effect of the medication your doctor should report it to the FDA.
You should let your doctor know as soon as possible.
Regards and I hope you are feeling better quickly.
