Loon-A-TiK Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hiya- You all know that I've been on every Atypical on the planet to control my BP1/psychosis, and hopefully the other disorders too. We can all hope the Acme pills kick in for it all! Anyway, the next up on the fun train is Haldol. I left the clinic with a Haldol script yesterday. My pnurse said that it is like Risperdal, which I like but had to discontinue due to lactation, and that the low dose (2mg) would give me a feel for whether or not I'd get EPS. I'll discontinue at the first sign of weirdness or EPS. What have been your experiences with Haldol? Similar or dissimilar to Risperdal (if you know)? I could go on and on about the evils of the Atypicals. I'm willing to tolerate SOME side effects, even lactation, except my pnurse said that is dangerous and we can't have that, or I'd put up wtih it and continue on the Risperdal. What about Haldol? I'm curious. Loon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I took Haldol for a while at a small dose and found it to be very very effective. I didnt get any sedation from it either. Im seriously considering going back to it and I am going to ask my pdoc next week if it can be taken in conjunction with abilify. Good luck!

Loon-A-TiK Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Cool! Maybe I'll like it too. My pnurse is optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Good luck Loon-a-tik and let us know how you get on. I didnt get any hormonal effects from it either. No lactation, no sedation, just reduced psychosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
