It has been a while since I have posted. I have BPI and rapid-cycle very frequently. I am now taking cogentin due to tremors mostly in my hands, arms and wrists. I have a hard time keyboarding and writing and even holding things. I am dropping stuff at odd times. It is very frustrating . I am also having a hard time reading anything I have tohold(like a newspaper) because I am shaking. I have also felt some shaking in my legs but it has seemed to improve with the cogentin. I have also tried to take 50 mg Benadryl to help with the shaking but it doesn't seem to do much. I am taking Seroquel(300mg) at bedtime and also 1200mg Carbatrol(am)and Gabatril8mg (2x daily) Levoxyl(.175) daily Estrace (2mg 2x daily) 1500mg Carbatrol (pm) and 15 mg Remeron (at bedtime) . I can also take 90 mg Restoril for sleep If Iam particularly manic. Then I started the Cogentin Just 1 mg 2x a day. I am hoping it will help with the twitching. I am , right now, hypo-manic, but not severely ( well, my own opinion, maybe not my husband's). I am trying to regulate my sleep patterns a little more but have trouble relaxing when I feel like this! Too much stuff in my head! Any opinions would be appreciated!
