Do you have a PRN or “as needed” medication? If so, what is it and does it help?
I have alprazolam PRN, but I used to have haldol which I think was better. Alprazolam has addictive potential and just makes me tired so I don’t like taking it. Does anyone here have a PRN like haldol or similar?
Haldol’s my regular so not really. I do have an old bottle of olanzapine i can take if i need to. But no prescription for it right now.
Ok gotcha! Olanzapine is my regular medication. I know it is popular for a PRN from what I have heard though. @irrelevant
I just have alprazolam it doesn’t make me tired though.
I have Klonopin scheduled and as PRN too. 
That’s interesting that it doesn’t make you tired @Turtle43
@GrayBear I took klonopin scheduled for probably 10 years with no problem. My last dr disliked scheduled benzo medications, so she took me off of it and put me on gabapentin instead.
I’ve been on them for 20 years that’s probably why.
I have not needed a prn for many moons. I told my pdoc about my anger/psychosis spells when I had to put myself to sleep. She didn’t mind. I’m doing better now but not perfect.
Sorry. What do you mean by when I put myself to sleep? You mean at bedtime when the meds wear off? This happens to me! I feel very off at this time!
I do not have a PRN
My regular medication is 400 mg of Seroquel a night. I have a 100 mg tablet for a PRN.
Propranolol for akithisia
I’ve got Haldol as a PRN. Damn chemical sledgehammer is what it is.
I have olanzapine as a prn. Dont take it regularly though.
I HAD Haldol as a prn but they told me not to take it with the QT prolongation… don’t know what they’ll give me now if I’m freaking out…
I have clozapine and Tranxene (benzo) as a prn.
I would take a dose of Seroquel when I was about to lose my temper so I could go to sleep. My pdoc didn’t mind.
I do not.
