"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."

"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 took this for the side effects from Seroquel. This drug made me disoriented, confused, and forgetful. It also didn't help with my side effects."

"I have just started this medicine, 100 mg, to help my tremors (head to toe). I take 2 a day. So far, it is working, even with the increase of mg."

"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."
