Hi Tim and welcome to the board!

I have tried a number of antipsychotic meds and never experienced the shaking you described. I think you should mention it to your doctor.

Sounds like you two are experiencing medication induced Parkinsonism, sometimes caused by antipsychotic medications. The Benzhexol and Cogentin are used to relieve the symptoms.
