Penguin Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I got prescribed Cogentin because I just started Prolixin a few weeks ago and notice I get shaky and jittery easily. The Prolixin is also causing restlessness for me. My pdoc called in cogentin for the jitters, and I am reading it helps with ap restlessness too? How effective is it at this? I'm on 1 mg. I took 0.5 mg last night and went to sleep really well, so we'll see how today goes. Does the restlessness with prolixin usually go away over time, or get worse? Is the restlessness as bad with the shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlossong Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I had to up cogentin from 0.5mg to 1mg then to 1.5mg due to restlessness with Latuda.Restlessness lasted 4 months with Latuda however, I would get bad restlessness once a week. I don't anymore.Cogentin killed akathisia at 1.5mg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 FWIW ... I didn't have restlessness with prolixin; just sedation and no energy whatsoever. I had the prolixin shot, which helped the hallucinations/delusions, but the pills didn't do anything for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
