Hi,
I have been taking trihexyphenidyl for several years.
I have found it effective in keeping the muscle spasms to a minimum.
In the past a pharmacy I used to use didn't always have the tabs in which resulted in side effects after a couple of days.
Discuss with your doctor or Specialist.
Thank you
