My doctor prescribed me cogentin and I'm supposed to start taking it Tuesday, but like any anxious person I looked it up to read everything I could about it. I read people with a history of alcoholism shouldn't take it because it can lead to addiction, and people with tardive dyskinesia shouldn't take it because it makes it worse. I have both of those things lol and my psychiatrist knows this and still wants me to take it. 

Has anyone taken this before? I'm not too worried about the other side effects, they seemed pretty minor compared to the other medications I'm on, but I'm really worried about those two. I see her again on Wednesday but when I mentioned my concern last week she gave me the whole "you need to be compliant" speech.
