I remember cogentin was a nice medication. I was given cogentin for stiffness from risperidal which was to augment the celexa I was taking. My doctor said it was fine to take long term.
The thing was that I dropped the celexa and risperdal since the cogentin helped my mood more than either of the others. It helped acute panic attacks too. If I felt a panic attack coming on, where I would feel like I was being closed in, the cogentin would help help that. Strange.
I've never heard of it used in this manner, and perhaps it was abuse, but I found it interesting.I think I remember reading a theory about cholinergic disturbances in panic attacks, and how cholinergic agonists can provoke panic in susceptable individuals.
