I’m waiting on the haldol to leave my system so I could start a new drug anyone knows how long it takes ?
Injection or oral?
Half life of depot haldol is 3 weeks. Usually med is out of the system after 5 half lives, so might take 15+ weeks to be out of the system

It was Injection
Could you tell me which mg depot that is that takes 3 weeks ?
Haloperidol depot takes 3 weeks for one half life to pass
It’ll be effectively out of your system 3-4 weeks after injection. Most doctors will start the new antipsychotic at a low dose around 2-3 weeks and titrate up from there.
And that’s for 300 mg injection ?
It’s for pretty much any strength.
Ok thanks a lot I needed that information thank you
