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?

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.
