"I took 0.5mg Cogentin for residual akathisia at about 3PM 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 1mg two times a day, but considering taking 1mg 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."
