Does cogentin (benztropine) relieve muscle pain and stiffness experienced in legs and back from risperdal consta? have been on for month and pain when walking
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Partially: Risperidone can cause symptoms and signs of parkinsonism. Muscle pain and stiffness is part of the same symptoms. Cogentin (benztropine) is helpful in relieving the symptoms. Sometimes other medications may have to be used to counteract side effects.
