Cogentin isn't working

So I had a bad reaction to haldol yesterday and the doctor gave me this but it’s not working. What you guys say is the max dose I can take without over doing it

She has me on .5 mg

Done took 1 mg 765765

I have really bad dry mouth reaction to Cogentin and it doesn’t work anyway.

What is it? Is it for muscle stiffness as well?

,5mg is a pretty low dose. If 1mg doesn’t do the trick though I wouldn’t take more than that

It’s for jerkiness type movements from antipschycotics

Yeah it hasnt worked so I’m going to the ER today see what they can do

Alternative to cogentin is artane. Both works in similar manner. Ask your pdoc about it

if its TD than cogentin doesnt really help and kinda just makes it worse

Just got back from doc. She said double the cogentin and nothing else. She was afraid it might happen again. I felt bad and told her it wasn’t which it wasn’t anybody’s fault

I do know now that I can’t take haldol or trazadone
