I am feeling better this morning. Tomorrow will be 1 week off the 14mg patch so I guess I will be going into heck weak. When I quit in the fall (after 2mo. of being on 21mg patch) I relapsed. I can't remember when I wrote a blog about it saying I wasn't prepared for the strong cravings, I got a reply asking why in the world would I not be prepared. I felt like an idiot. After all the eductaion and advice I got on here, why would I not be prepared. Well now I am prepared and I didn't smoke. I give all the credit to yoyou guys and God.
Cogentin is a parkinson's med. A few years ago I was on abilify for a long time and got tremors so bad I needed both hands to eat. My Dr. sent me to a neurologist to rule out parkinsons which, after a year of follow-up she did and concluded they were because of abilify. The Dr. I saw in the clinic was not my regular Dr and will not become my reg as I have requested a new one (just for a different perspective) I wanted to go back on abilify (it is not as sedating as some of my other meds I've been on with the med I was put on by the neurologist) She had at 1st put me on cogentin but it gave me the same symptoms I am having now. I told the Dr. about it and he said he didn't think the low dose of abilify that I am on would cause tremors.
Having so many Drs. and being on so many meds causes so many problems. If I'm not better by Mon. I will call my Dr. but I am already feeling better and totally prepared for heck week.
