[@DavidJacksonphunman1]

Thx man, appreciate all the hard work!

[@ottolandin]

I had severe visual hallucinations while using Cogentin and when I took diphenhydramine, I had severe tactile hallucinations.with related auditory hallucinations.

I got tardive akathisia and benztropine saved me

[@44esta44]

What is your opinion for someone who has been on Cogentin for decades, the doctor wants her off it. How would you recommend withdrawing from it....aside from cold turkey?

[@rodsimonson9175]

Is this good for tardive dyskinesia?

[@XenoTravis]

I got a weird side effect (painful muscle contractions) from Haldol from a psych ward and they told me this was a drug to stop it. No idea if it helped since Ativan stopped the EPS episode.

[@GuessImDarren]

It helped me multiple times they’ve given me too many antipsychotics

[@SamAhLamm]

I had this , after taking a antihistamine I got bad Dystonic reaction & it stopped it but I needed it for 3 days

[@ايهابمحمد-ن9د]

Can it be used for dopamine deficiency?

[@adownbeatexegete1549]

I got dystonia from Risperdal, then this stopped it.

[@katherinejones2593]

How long did it take to help?

[@GuessImDarren]

@@katherinejones2593I got it IV it was instant. Now I take pill form as I get the Invega shot

[@edward2364]

My psychiatrist prescribe this medication because of my hand shaking due to I guess side effects of schizoaffective disorder medication 💊

[@truebluegarcia9065]

Does benzotrophine work for the hand shaking I ask because my leg shakes and I take haldol meds for schezoprenia?

[@XenoTravis]

@@truebluegarcia9065 odd the doctors will still prescribe Haldol. It was replaced by newer medications that had way less severe side effects.
