mghalt Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 My BP started as postpartum depression and in reading more about Andrea Yates, the Texas woman who drowned her children, she and I had similar symptoms. I read that when she was on Haldol her husband said she was 100% better. I've never tried Haldol. In fact, it's probably one of the few I have not tried. I'm wondering if it may help me. What is your experience with Haldol? Side effects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 My BP started as postpartum depression and in reading more about Andrea Yates, the Texas woman who drowned her children, she and I had similar symptoms.

What is your experience with Haldol? Side effects? I had such severe akathisia from Haldol that I literally overdosed on tranquilizers in an attempt to ease the suffering. It wasn't that I wanted to die, it was just that death would have been better than the way I felt from the medication. The scary thing was that I had no idea what akathisia was at the time. Granted, that was a rare response, and an extreme case of akathisia, but since you were looking for individual experiences, I figured I would include a bad one just for reference.
