Might be worth checking with your doctor and trying the magnesium. It’s helped me a ton.

Initially haldol made me feel overmedicated because I felt so tired. But in time i acclimated to it. It takes a while to overcome the sleepiness and feeling of being doped up. At least it was that way for me for a few months. But Haldol works really well for me usually. I have breakthrough symptoms from time to time but they are manageable. I used to get the shot but now I take the pills.

Hi @Snakelover.

Typically, we like to leave inactive threads alone and just start a new thread instead. This is different than how some forums are run, but we do it this way because it frequently upsets users to have old topics revived when they are no longer relevant. It can also be frustrating to the person who revived the thread when they don’t get a reply, because the original poster is no longer active or no longer finds the topic relevant. Feel free to start a new thread on this topic.

Thanks,
