I would have thought (and at the time did) that this was a weird solution but like I said he did improve.

I'm sorry you are going through this. I've had EPS so many times that we skipped trying a typical AP before going to clozapine. We briefly discussed trilafon and then just decided it wasn't worth it to waste time trying it and a few weeks in having to stop and then move to clozapine.

No, it's not stupid, Rainbow. Yes, I've been on Cogentin. It didn't help the tremor. I feel scared at this point...I don't want this thing all of my life.

I've seen the commercial for the TD med, too, and wondered about it. Then I read all the side effects and while I'm usually stoic when it comes to accepting side effects, the possible ones from that TD med sound downright creepy.

Thanks Rainbow
