netsavy006 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I know this is probably a medical question and probably can't be answered here and probably best left for a doctor but I'd like to know is what's the method of reducing/discontinuing from Artane? I was able to go from 6mg to 3mg in one visit. I have my next doctors appt 3/3. I don't think that the Artane is really helping at all with the restlessness (it may be I'm not really 100% sure) and would like to know, do I have to wean off of it like other meds or can it be safely reduced from my current 3mg to nothing? Like I said I'm sure it's medical and can't be answered here, but I'd thought I'd give it a shot. Feedback anyone. Of course I will follow whatever medical advice my psychiatrist has to say...

netsavy006 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Well my doctor discontinued the Artane and switched me over to Cogentin 1mg 2x/day. I don't know if this will work for the akathisia I get from Abilify, but I am hopeful. I have it in combination with the 5mg 3x/day of Valium so I'm hopeful this will be a worthwhile combination to help the akathisia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
