Does cogent in really take away akathisia? it is not working
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be helpful: Anticholinergics can be helpful for akathisia but if it is not working there are other classes of medications that may be helpful such as benzodiazepines or tetrabenazine. Please speak with your prescribing physician if your symptoms persist despite treatment.
