For treatment of Parkinson's disease, the recommended dose of trihexyphenidyl starts with 1 mg the first day and then increases by 2 mg daily at intervals of 3 to 5 days until symptoms are controlled. The usual daily dose ranges from 6 mg to 10 mg daily depending on needs (taken in divided doses at mealtimes).
The dose needed for medication-induced symptoms varies widely according to the particular medication and dose that are causing the symptoms.
