A member asked:

Will cogentin heal tongue enlargement and tongue licking back of bottom tooth caused by geodon (ziprasidone) and other antipsychotics i was on?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not clear: Anticholinergic meds such as Cogentin (benztropine) are archaic approaches to treating tardive dyskinesia, but not clear if use will actually stabilize this difficult process. There are many other meds worth considering and your doctor can guide an approach.
