My girlfriend suffers from schizophrenia and is generally well at
present on her medication,which is 500mg solian and 7.5mg kemadrin
daily. However ,she suffers with one major problem in which several
times weekly ,particularly when she excercises she gets a rapid
movement
of her eyelids which is visible to me, and also what she describes as a
feeling that her eyes are going up in her head. This is accompanied by
an extreme feeling of anxiety.If she gets it particularly bad ,her arm
may also start to spasm uncontrollably. If she takes cogentin with her
solian
instead of kemadrin or akineton she never gets this problem.However
cogentin has been discontinued in ireland ,where we live,and the doctor
will not prescribe it.The psychiatrist she attends cannot give us a reason why this
happens and doesnt seem to be very willing to help us find a solution. My
girlfriend is at her wits end with this problem which is ruining her
life and nobody except me seems to care.Can any of you advise me what
to do or where I can get help to find out what this problem is and how
to solve it. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
