cogentin for abilify, hallucinated?
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
My doctor prescribed cogentin (benztropine mesylate) when he doubled the ablify to 30 mg. It's for parkinsons, which I don't have, but was in case i had an abilify reaction.

I took one last night as I felt strange, and thought it might be abilify confusion. But...alas, I was a lot more confused when I started to hallucinate.

Luckily nothing too scary, just i don't think the ceiling is supposed to have blue and green lines and faces. It was peculiar.

I don't think I will take anymore of these.

Has anyone had any experiences with these? I'm still seeing things a little blurry and sparkly.

" Yeah I am also taking cogentin because of the side effects of ablify. I glad I take cogentin because I was some restless and had bad anxiety worst then I have it now. See was got hallucinates from serequal that why I take abilify now.
Did you get them hallucinates on the lower dosage? "
