Maychild Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 My pdoc took me off of Geodon a couple of weeks ago because it was giving me mixed episodes. He put me on Haldol full time without much improvement (5 mg's a day) and yesterday increased it to 10 mg's a day. He's adding Thorazine on Monday for bedtime due to restlessness that I'm experiencing when I try to go to sleep. Has anyone else had this combo and how did it work for you? Is this combo weird at all and is the dosage a little hardcore or is it normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirMarshall Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Haldol: 5 -10mg is listed as the recommended dosages for the tablet form. For injection 2mg is recommended which may be repeated hourly as required, but 4-8 hours as typical. Given the mixed instructions I suspect that the doctor has a wide leeway based on his judgement. It's not unusual to take two AP's. Thorazine is an old school AP that is effective, and can be helpful in getting sleepy. a.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
