How long a long active injectable can last in the system?

Im off of haloperidol depot for around 7-8 months and I still can feel it mild effects like being weirdly haloperidol like sedated. Can anyone confirm that LAI’s last that long? Especially if I was on 4 injections a month

I’m not completely sure. Depends on the dose of course, but I’ve heard from a doc that a little bit of the medication can be in the system for months with injectable med. 7-8 months is a long time though but if you were on 4 a month I’m not surprised there’s still some in the system. Others might know it better than me.

Depends what you replaced it with. Maybe the new med is sedating too.

Antipsychotics can last in your system for a long long time.
I’m talking from experience becsuse I quit Ziprasidone that I’ve been using for 20 years
And now finally after 10 months it has left my system.
If feel a lot calmer witout the Ziprasidone
