sdjeff Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I read sometime back that Risperdal and Haldol were fairly similar in chemical sructure. I was wondering if anybody had any experience with this. Risperdal is becoming a major strain on my budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chUCKIT Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 um from just a mom of OCDer what I've heard is Haldol represents a much greater risk of side affects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Personally I found Haldol to be more effective but it can engender some pretty nasty side effects including Tardive Dyskinesia - the only one I got was high prolactin levels and amennorhea (sic) but I find Haldol much more useful and less sedating than Risperdal which made me feel like a zombie and also made me pack on the pounds. So a 'yay!' for Haldol and a 'nay!' for Risperdal blackbird x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
