Confusion seems worse

Not sure where to post this. But it seems to be getting easier to confuse me. And when people talk to me I may only retain bits and pieces of the conversation.

Someone told me it could be the Haldol. Others have said including a nurse I could have high blood sugar or high blood pressure

High blood sugar and high blood pressure are both serious problems. You would do well to see a doctor and have those things checked out. You also should talk to your pdoc about it if those things check out. Maybe he can lower your dose or change you to something else if it’s giving you problems.

I know I have high blood pressure, but last time I had my glucose levels check they were normal

I have both high blood pressure and high blood sugar levels and don’t suffer from confusion.

It’s more likely that it’s either the Haldol or the SZA.

Please have it checked out medically.

Good luck @cbbrown.

I was afraid you would tell me that. I was hoping it would be the high blood pressure. Something there’s an actual test for. I can’t prove to anyone it’s the sza or Haldol.

My father in law thinks I’m a moron

It could very well be your high blood pressure I’m not a doctor.
It’s best that you speak to your psychiatrist and gp if you have one.

Confusion is a serious concern.

I see my pdoc next week and the family doctor the Friday after Christmas.

By the way my mother in law did something nice again: bought me more cbd oil and French vanilla chocolate covered cherries…i think she feels bad.

My father in law confused me last night with his instructions and he got mad

Ignore your father in law when he gets mean.
Try to enjoy the holiday season with your partner and pets.

I’m glad your seeing your doctors soon Cb.

Maybe you have to get used to the Haldol and get used to the side effects.

I have to deal with it for now. I don’t know how to explain the confusion thing to my doctors anyway. I have therapy next week too.

I used to get confused all the time before I was on haldol. It’s the sza

I was confused before meds.
Probably it’s sz

How much Haldol are you on?

20mgs a day use to be on 30 last year under a different doctor

just curious… what kind of side effects do you feel on that dose?

Fatigue and very sluggish when it was 30 but 20 leaves me tired at well

I seriously felt terrible on 2mg. I’m on 1 and have been on for many years now
