According to my research benzotropine is an anti-cholinergic, totally unrelated to benzos or Z drugs. Z drugs are zoplicone, zaleplon, Zolpidem, Ezcopoline. There are other drugs in the "nonbenzodiazine group) which I'm not going to type out all of, but none are benzotropine. It's safe, just kind of annoying.
If you have some article about benzotropine being part of this class please share as I'd like to know as it will play a role in going back on it sometime soon.
Thanks

It scares me, but with the invega I'm on, I really need the benztropine. I do not want to go through withdrawals again. Not sure what to do. I've been on most of the atypical ap's , and a few of the older ones too. I don't want to start switching meds and having them be less therapeutic.  |
