Smprz84 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Haldol seems to be working but makes me feel a bit restless after I take it like discontent and I can't relax. I take Zoloft and klonopin also. I been taking Zzzquil to knock myself out at night and relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh Gaben Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I take haldol as a prn along with abilify as my main AP. Full combo is in my signature. I find it pretty beneficial as a prn, but didn't have much success with it as a stand alone AP. Good that it's working for you though. I'll put up with some side effects if I find a med to be beneficial. if you're taking other medication that helps you relax and sleep and the haldol is working, then it sounds like you might be on to a good combo already.

Siggmin Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I take Haldol, but it's the only AP I take. I take Depakote for mood and Cogentin to counteract the Haldol side effects (restlessness, drooling, shaking, stiff muscles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowan77 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I have taken haldol along with Olanzapine and quetiapine when I was hospitalised with mania. Probably for 2 months at most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I took Haldol along with different AD's, mood stabilizers and such. Many different combo's with haldol as the main AP in the mix. I found Artane helped the restlessness. Haldol does have a higher occurrence of EPS, or twitching and jerking, and akathasia because its a pure dopamine antagonist, so it works very well with psychosis, but the side effects can suck. Meds like cogentin, artane, mirapex, beta-blockers, benzos or even benadryl can be used to counter these effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgetmenot220 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Haldol, wellbutrin, lamictal, and zoloft. I used to take saphris too! It had all mixed nicely with Haldol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smprz84 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 I take Haldol and Zoloft, how much Haldol you take? I use to love Wellbutrin until I later got skitzo, not just because the Wellbutrin. I would like to ad the Wellbutrin but I'm scared it could make my skitzo worse and not be able to shut it off since Wellbutrin is activating... Do you have problem with voices?
