I am having trouble keeping my fingers steady, I think I posted about this a little last week but don’t remember much else besides me mentioning it.
My hands are just really twitchy and my legs are to some degree but not really that annoying but I am pretty restless feeling when I lay down. I know antipsychotics can do this, I am on invega oral 9 mg and have been for almost 3 years but this has been a relatively new development.
I need some other people to chime in with this, I’m not sure what I should do about this but I know some people have recommended medication they take to help them. Should I reach out to my doctor?
Well I have been taking Cogentin that my doctor prescribed, it has made reading more difficult as my upclose vision is blurry. I noticed it increased my pupil size, it also is giving me horrible dry mouth.
The thing that also isn’t very fun is that I am still having shaky hands and doing fine motor skills work is pretty hard, I don’t know long I have to wait before the shakes decrease.
I had restlessness and a tremor and it sucked. I immediately warned my pdoc and they first tried akineton (addictive!) and then reduced meds. Im now on a lesser dose, much better. No psychosis, no eps, more energy and feelings.
I think you should discuss it with your pdoc and be clear that you are worried about it and want them to search for a solution with you.
