Venlafaxine / Quetiapine - I'm spacing out a lot, and i keep getting restless legs and twitching

Hi,
I'm taking Venlafaxine and Quetiapine
I've noticed that i'm spacing out a lot more, and not remembering conversations or what i've been doing. Latest one is that I put my card down, but I didn't remember where I put it. This is very unusual for me, i'm also failing to remember conversations i've just had.
My restless legs are getting worse, i'm finding that they just wont stay still! I feel like I get what can only be described as a shock that runs down the leg, and it just suddenly moves!
I'm also worried I might be sleep walking, i've suspected it for a while but things are moved when I wake up.
All advice and comments welcome.

I didn't last long taking quetiapine with venlafaxine, I really didn't like how it made me feel. I was aware of behaving out of character almost as though I was high and later having foggy recollection of the events which is very unusual for me. I also felt like my brain was numb which I found disconcerting so after about 3 weeks I stopped taking quetiapine and quickly those side effects went. It's not a pleasant medication. The only benefit I found for the first 10 days was that I slept very well which is also unusual for me but that has gone by the 2nd week.

those are pretty strong by themselves already. how long have you been taking then and also the dose would be helpful to those giving you feedback.
