My mother is being treated for bipolar disorder and hypertension. She was taking rexipra and qutan last year and has recently been shifted to arip mt 5. She has been experiencing restlessness and inability to sit in one place for long.
What can be the future course of action. Should a neurologist also be consulted

Please tell this to the treating psychiatrist. Your mom might need a change in medicines. She should be alright with the change.

Seems like she is having akethesia which is side effect of arip mt, although detail discussion and evaluation needed to confirm the exact cause behind it. Neurologist doesn't have any role in such case.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist nearby or online so that thorough evaluation is done and accordingly treatment can be suggested.
