"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."

"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."
