Adding this because the program says my message is too short. (Dumb thing.)

I've not tried Cogentin, but I agree with you that Propanalol does nothing. What do you mean by full body tremoring? I had something that could be described like that. All of me was shaking really bad and I couldn't stop it. It was worse when I laid down, but it got late and I HAD to try and rest which I finally did, but it wasn't easy! It wasn't from Latuda, though; I forget which drug did that, actually. (i've gone through so many!)



After thinking it all over I've decided to stop the Latuda. I didn't take it last night or this morning. I don't feel one bit different than I felt on it. Feels like I've been swallowing placebos.

Still some tremor in my hands and jaw. I do not feel like I have to jiggle my leg, though.


I felt that way. My hands would tremor for weeks after that initial episode! Of course, pdoc tried propanolol which didn't help. The only thing that really helped was time.



Lost 13lbs. during February.

CONGRATS! I wish I could say the same. Little by little...
