Benztropine and Aripiprazole
Yesterday, my doctor perscribed Benztropine(Cogentin) to me. It's suppose to counter act the side affects of Aripiprazole(Abilify). It's also suppose to make you sleepy, but it made my whole body sleepy. I couldn't get up this morning, literally. And I can barely move my arms and legs. Is this a common side affect?

Heyy,
I'm not sure about that. But if it's making you that sleeply that you couldn't get up you should go back to your doctor. x

I've had other antipsychotic meds make me unable to move in the morning. I would discuss this with your psych and maybe get your meds changed or the doses changed.

PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.
I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.

Thanks, guys. I have an appointment with my psych tomorrow to talk about medicine. Hopefully, she'll put me on something else.

Hope it went okay.

Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…
you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
