"I took 0.5 mg Cogentin for residual akathisia at about 3 PM, which helped. Unfortunately, it also gave me a general feeling of unwellness, nausea with occasional dry heaving, and loss of appetite. These went away at about 6:00, but left me with a general indescribable (but not overwhelming) feeling of fear."

"Currently taking 1 mg two times a day, but considering taking 1 mg at bedtime since I have side effects like brain fog. Hopefully, it will stop the restlessness that is caused by Risperdal."

"I simply won’t take my Latuda without Cogentin. The akathisia is too unbearable, but with Cogentin, it is not there! So it works great."

"Absolutely the ONLY way I can take Latuda (life-saving me for me) is by taking three small doses of Cogentin a day. I had excruciating muscle pain, a strange kind of dizziness, brain fog, and restlessness. I thought it could be some presentation of akathisia. It was unbearable until I started Cogentin. Wonder if those with side effects are prescribed too high of a dose. I'm taking half of the 0.5 pill three times a day."
