I am on Seroquel and getting restless and agitated (akathisia) my doctor gave me cogentin (Benztropine) for it I told her I’m not taking a medicine to counteract another one. I’m trying to get off Seroquel. It’s very difficult for me. I just want to be able to be relaxed. I took the Seroquel because I couldn’t relax and now this is happening. I’m miserable.

Search GeneSight Testing and get tested. Their test will tell you which psychotropic meds you will be able to metabolize. Everyone is different and getting the right med doesn't have to be hit or miss. Side effects can be caused by not being able to metabolize a given drug or metabolizing it too quickly or too slowly. This simple test, a cheek swab you do at home, is a great tool. Worked for me, my son and a friend. Our genes make us unique. Find out what your gene type can work with without all the trial and error. This is a game changer.
