Will this drug make you feel like you're spaced out as a side effect, or act like a benzo? Or is it like thorazine, making u all groggy? ## Are these like xanax? ## Is benztropine considered a benzodiazepene in lab work? ## It's not "just like thorazine" but you're getting closer. It depends on your standards! Thorazine is abused sometimes too! But no. No, don't do it! And if u do, don't expect to feel euphoric. But just don't do it. ## @Carol, From what I could gather, Benztropine is classified as an anticholinergic. Other reports I've read state that Benztropine is structurally similar to Atropine and Diphenhydramine (Benadryl). That said, I doubt it's even checked for in a lab analysis.

## In regards to Benztropine mesylate... More details about this medication are available at: If you have any more questions or comments to add, please post back so I can further assist you. ## I have been taking trihexyphenidyl 5mg for almost 40 years, same as mesylate Benztropine 2mg. I have been filling prescriptions from Canada for 5 years since they are not available in the Philippines. My prescriptions are from my Filipino doctors. As of now, there are several pharmacies carrying such items, but my problems are - 1): they do not honor prescriptions in the Philippines. 2) they will only supply only three months consumption. My prescriptions are for 1,200 tablets each.

I need to know if this is a normal side effect? ## No, it is not classified as a narcotic, but yes, the FDA does list blurry vision as being a possible side effect, along with nausea, diarrhea, and muscle weakness. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is benztropine medicine considered a valium? Because the pills that i have, have the imprint of 23 26 v ## Hello, Tony! How are you? I think you're confusing Benzatoprine and benzodiazepine. Benzodiazepines are a class of medications that include drugs such as Valium, Xanax and Ativan, which are most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. However, Benzatropine is a drug in the anticholinergic class, it's actually used to treat Parkinson's Disease, Parkinsonism and dystonia. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Just to add to tony's message - the pill being described, white tablet with V on one side and 2326 on the other side is correctly assumed to be Benztropine 1mg, NDC code 0603-2434.

Taking one in the morning along with two risperidal and one in the evening with two risperidal ## If you want to get off of these medications in the safest manner, I would first recommend that you seek more personalized advice from your doctor who knows your medical history and other factors that should be taken into consideration before tapering. Your doctor may lower the dosage of both medications or even suggest taking each pill in fractions (actually cut into pieces) and these smaller pieces can be taken in place of the regular dose for a period of several weeks until the body is no longer dependent upon them. I hope this helps! ## I have been taking 3 tablets in the morning and 1 1/4 in the afternoon. I tried to cut off the Dosage 1/4 per week ( as per doctor ) recommendation. But ...
