Hi Buns!
>Actually thinking about it maybe I will try taking some at night before bed maybe then it will stop my tongue waggling when Im trying to get off to sleep and the warm sensation will have worn off by morning, does that sound like a plan?
So procyclidine reduces the tongue waggling? If so, it sounds like a good plan to me :-)
>What would be really neat would be something like procyclidine sustained release so you could take one dose but the initial spike wasnt so obvious.
A long acting anticholinergic called benztropine (Cogentin) used to be available in the UK. The tablets were discontinued though - it's only available as an injection now. Procyclidine, orphenadrine (Disipal) and benzhexol (also called trihexyphenidyl) are the only anticholinergics still available as tablets.
Warm regards
Ed
