> well, I've never heard of this pill, but I do know that excessive sweating is usually(?) treated by Clonidine... maybe you might want to switch if sweating's the only issue?
Thanks for responding also. I looked Clonidine up and I don't think it's an anticholergenic. I am going to ask my pdoc about at the weekly visit on Monday. Yes, the whole point was to counteract the Effexor XR's side effect of excessive sweating. I mentioned the confusion, which had started to show after a week on Cogentin, to him last Mon. and he blamed it on Xanax.
No way, I've been taking Xanax for a long time and know exactly what it does to me. The blurry vision, confusion, and impaired memory were definitely new to me since starting the Cogentin.One thing in the Pill Book scares me about the Clonodine--says it's potentially fatal if stopped abruptly. Yikes. But I am going to discuss this med with my pdoc.
Thanks,
JM
