Hi Kari,
I think that most people who take atypical antipsychotics do not need an anticholinergic. Every case is different, however, and a few people do. I happen to need an anticholinergic (Cogentin) from side effects from the medium-high dose of Geodon (a new AP) that I take. Without the Cogentin I am very stiff and have trouble walking and moving my head and neck. With the Cogentin, I feel no different than I did before the Geodon.
I have never experienced any severe side effects from 2mg of Cogentin daily. I think anticholinergics are very safe to use; I am not sure how dangerous they are in overdose.
I hope this helps.
