Hi,
I have been taking Cogentin for about a week for the excessive sweating that results from my Effexor XR.
For the last couple of days I have experienced confusion, blurry vision, and memory loss. (Where did I put that? What did I come to this room for? What was our phone call about? etc.)
Since Cogentin is the newest med added (I have been on a few others, too--the XR and benzos for some time now),I think it must be the Cogentin causing these symptoms, right?
My pill book says Cogentin can cause these effects but I don't always trust the book completely and would rather hear from somone else who's been on Cogentin.
If someone knows anything about it, please write back. For now, I am going to stop taking it. The sweating is terrible but the confusion, blurry vision, and memory loss aren't worth not sweating.
Thanks,
JM
