Does haloperidol make you irritable?

Does haloperidol make one irritable? Today I was major irritable and it caused arguments with my husband. I’ve been so peaceful before but today feel like a snapping monster and it’s not even my pms time. My husband said is my new meds not working and I said I don’t know, maybe the dose is still too low. I’m on 1,5mg now but going up to 3mg next week. I hope it helps me!

That stuff was one step short of clopixol when i was having a meltdown. Didnt make me irritable - just “jerky” and my tounge could not stay in my gob. I always had to have procyclidine when i was on that.

Maybe your body has just gotta learn to tolerate it.

I dont need to tell you that 1st generation drugs like that are gonna be heavy on your system. Maybe your just gonna have to ride it out.

Haldol has been a absolute miracle for me it controls the psychosis and stabilizes my mood but I’m on a stronger dose than you I’m on 10 mg total it’s a lifesaver

I feel calmer on Haldol. I take 15mg per day

Thanks guys, it’s probably just my mood or med switch and anyway I’m on very low dose still. When it increases it will help too I hope.

I appreciate your comments! :blush::+1:

I don’t tolerate Haldol well. Personally, I dread taking the drug. If they want to put me on that drug again they are going to have to catch me first.

It sedates me too much for me to be irritable. It’s more like, “I’m too tired to nap now.”
