Teh Gaben Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 So I've just had my dose of haldol increassed from 10mg to 15mg. My question is, how long will it be before this takes effect? I'm really impatient for it to start working as I have a lot of problems at the minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyRedhead Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) I don't have any personal experience with haldol, but according to what I found , could take up to 4-6 weeks for the maximum effect. But some symptoms could improve within as little as a few days: " A person should try Haloperidol for at least four to six weeks; this is when the maximum effects of the medication are usually seen. However, some symptoms such as hallucinations, anxiety, and paranoia should lessen within a few days to a few weeks." http://www.namihelps.org/assets/PDFs/fact-sheets/Medications/Haldol.pdf Edited January 18, 2017 by CrazyRedhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
