my Love one has taken cogentin for six years sense age 22 & last two years with seroquel. He has slur speech, walks like he's drunk, with a good night sleep, takes his pills at waking hour and he's tired, confusion, blur visions, repeats himself, ask the same question over within 15 minutes of the conversation, irregular heart beat at times, droppy eyes, wants to sleep & does it on

Comment:
Memory loss, can't concentrate, hearing voices.. I'm glad to see these comments today. He drove 15 miles today to go to WalMart to p/u his med's and picked up something in the grocery section and came home without his meds. It was the reason he went to WM and forgot that fast. He's only 51 and will not be taking Cogentin anymore.

Comment:
My husband took this medication to alleviate arm pain associated with Ability. After a couple days he started to hallucinate and hallucinated for four days until we saw our primary care physician who took him off the drug. Horrible experience.
