    Has anyone ever took this? Brand name is Artane. Also Similar is Cogentin and Kemedri? Just know that when I take more I get a little nervous and strange confusion. Been on for years....antiparkisons med's I guess?

    cogentin is used by folks on anti=psychotic meds to stop the parkinson-like shakes & such side effects (tardive dyskinesia)...
    it is related chemically to the anticholinergic deleriants likek atropine & scopolamine (the "belladonna alkaloids" found in tropanaceous plants like daura, belladonna, brugmansia, mandragora, etc...)

    "confusion" is a distinct possibility in larger-than-recommended dosages...
