I do not consider turning a schizosffective but functional patient into a drooling quivering mass sitting in a corner of a Navy psych ward to be "treatment." My doc took me off it, and when I asked him what I should do with the extra he said - "Give it to my wife" - as she had been harassing the Naval Hospital as to the condition it left me in. It was also instrumental in destroying my military career. This stuff is "not candy" - beware. Published: January 07, 2008 ::

Here's the worst and best of this drug as I have had both. I have to agree with the 1st reviewer. This can cause facial disconesia. Sorry if my spelling isn't right on that one. The gist of it is your face starts to lock up and twist. GO ASAP to hospital have someone go or write out that its an allergic reaction to haldol. You will be unable to speak no doubt within 45 minutes. Scary yes! Benadril liquid or caps may be taken ASAP if you have them at home. This does help. As for the good part. I was on a manic high for over several months before I hit the wall and realized in the hospital I was Bipolar. Hey cause lets admit it mania can be very very fun but .. dangerous! Here is where haldol kicks in. If you are having a manic episode or you feel one on the way. Your Dr. may have you take this drug to knock you out long enough for your brain to bounce back to normal. Before you get a chance to hurt yourself or someone else being manic. Also used in hospitals as an injection to quickly calm a manic person. So is it a good drug? Yes, and I'm sure it's saved my life more than a dozen times. However, the last time I took haldol I had the facial thing, not cool at all. If I need this kind of fast muscle and brain calming due to mania I now take benadril with it. Published: February 05, 2009 ::

At first I was allergic and then b/c better and was fine. Published: November 14, 2007 ::

did not work for me. i had every side effect on the list. plus the doctor gave it to my with a thyroyd that is not active. so i think this had something to do with it. it made my jaw lock up and made me rock back and forth. i do not recomend this drug for my conditions. detoxing from it is even harder.
