Not sure if I need my cogentin type med anymore

It is called procyclidine. It is for akathisia. It works but it really blurs my vision.

Gonna do an experiment and not take it for a few days and see if the akathisia comes back. Last depot increase my akathisia resolved after a few weeks.

I would suggest you don’t experiment with your meds. Talk to your doctor. :kiwi_fruit::kiwi_fruit::kiwi_fruit:

Ps my pdoc knows I start and stop procyclidine based upon whether or not I have akathisia. He is fine me stopping It if I don’t need it. @GrayBear

But rest assured if the akathisia does come back I will happily resume the procyclidine

I’m on the real Cogentin. I take it for coarse tremors and I recently quit taking it. Because it doesn’t work.

Anticholinergics like procylidine or cogentin never helped when I had akathisia. It has been a long time since I had serious problems with akathisia.

Well I didn’t take a procyclidine last night and got akathisia so it looks like I need them
