I have posted before about my propensity to EPS, most recently on Latuda, and my psychiatrist has been researching ways to help with this.

What he discovered is that there are studies that demonstrate that vitamin B6 is as effective as propranolol in ameliorating EPS.

I cannot take propranolol or other beta blockers because I already have a tendency to low blood pressure. Just two days ago I had 98/74 and I cannot risk going below that.

There are apparently three versions of B6 and unfortunately in the articles about the studies the authors do not say which variety was used.

There is also toxicity at high doses so one has to be careful.

I will research this issue and start a trial of B6. Wanted to share this with others who might suffer from EPS and be taking anticholinergics for that.
