thank you for any help

benztropine (Cogentin) can cause psychosis as a side-effect. the best way to figure out if this is really the benztropine causing this is to talk to your doc and do a trial run of being off the meds to see if the intrusive thoughts occur or stop based off being off the drug. but like you said, you tried that when you went off the benztropine, so you already know the answer. best thing you can do now is talk to your doc about the side effects. there are other drugs similar to benztropine that can combat TD that you can try. i'll look some up and list them in another post for you.
