Hi Jeroen
>but what on earth is a anticholinergic psychosis?
It is a state which may occur if the dose of an anticholinergic drug such as Cogentin is much too high. Confusion is one of the main symptoms. Visual hallucinations are also prominent.
>so should i start a cogentin therapy or will it throw myself into major psychosis?
No, I don't think it will make you psychotic. If you do decide to try Cogentin, it's important to start at a low dose and increase gradually. Like Akineton, you may find that Cogentin aggravates your symptoms.
