my husband is taking it with the ability and it has messed him up. He has memory lose and can't remember what day or week it is. He can't even concentrate on what he is doing or saying. He also repeats hiself. He didn't do this until he started taking this med. I will def. look into trying to see if there is anything else he can take with the abilify.

It worked great, but the negative side effects such as blurred vision and memory problems, are a little tough to handle. But, the drug does what it is suppose to do.

This drugged saved me from some pretty serious side effects of Abilify. The muscle spams are more manageable and the stuttering also. We tried to decrease the abilify to 5 mg but even that was too strong. Cogentin was given by injection at the ER. I have a Rx now.

I take congentin to counteract the side effects of abilify. Works perfect for that side effect. However, I've been taking it for several weeks now and my mouth has been soooooo dry. I have to drink when I eat as I don't have any saliva to swallow drier foods. I do have blurry vision with small text but I'm not sure if that is due to the congentin or due to my age that I need reading glasses...

I was perscribed this medication, because I am on Geodon for Bipolar Disorder and the Geodon gave me the "shakes" and Cogentin stopped them. Best medication for the "shakes" from mental medications!

This drug was prescribed to me for treatment of side effects I had from Abilify, such as shakiness. It has worked very well, and I no longer have problems with side effects.

This has helped with the horrible restlessness that I got from Abilify. It is not too easy to use, just because I have to take it 3 times a day. Suuuper dry moutha and I havent been remebering things well either.

This medication was given to my husband in the er by injection. It save my husband from severe side effects to abilify even though he stopped taking abilify over two months ago he still had the side effects. Beware of abilify my husband only took it for three weeks and the side effects have impaired him from every activity.

My stepdaughter is taking this medication, and if there is any other medication to replace this one, use it! My stepdaughter has experienced severe confusion and memory loss. She can hardly make a sentence without saying something strange, and forgets in a heartbeat what she was just talking about. She is shy now talking with anyone for fear she'll say something stupid. It has really made her brain fuzzy. I think she would be better off without this medication.
