Hi Rainee,
Cogentin can somtimes cause anxiety and cognitive/memory problems. These side effects will go away if you stop taking Cogentin.
I think it would be a good idea to try a different medication for the restlessness. A low dose of propranolol (Inderal) might be helpful. You cannot take Inderal if you suffer from asthma.
What dose of Abilify are you taking? Can you reduce the dose? .....if you can, the restlessness should go away.
Have you taken any other atypical antipsychotics? Some of the other APs are less likely to cause restlessness than Abilify.
Ed.
