After 42 years of constant voices I am suddenly voice free! Go Haldol. Anyone else find a drug to get rid of voices?

I think that’s great. I’m glad you found one that works for you! I tried all the atypicals and Haldol was my first typical to try.

Good for you! It’s great when a med fits
That’s astounding news. How does it feel?
I’ve never heard voices, but am interested in how having them stop affect people who have had them.
Im med-free and i still hear voices from time to time. Not as bad as when i was on paliperidone. There are day when one doesnt hear anything. However, even when you dont hear voices… there is something… like an invisible veil over your head, which makes you view things not as they are but with a different distant perspective. its a suffocating veil and makes you feel unwell. Recently ive been dreaming differently, although i was seeing absolute trash in these dreams, i felt like my former self in some of them though. So perhaps one day ill wake up and this veil will be lifted for ever. Only time will tell.

Congratulations and I’m glad your finding some peace from this… 
I’m on 80 mg Latuda, and there are some days where I don’t hear a single thing from my head circus.
They usually kick in when I’m not taking care of myself like I should. But if I get enough sleep… decompress the stress… cut back a little on the coffee… my head circus isn’t there.
Not smoking marijuana seemed to get rid of my voices.

How much haldol you take? I also take it but only .5mg-1mg a day.
That is wonderful! Go Haldol!
@Samp I am on 1mg in the morning and 1mg in the evening. Seems to be working good.

@everhopeful. I don’t know, in a way it’s a exhilarating freedom feel that they are not there, however after 42 years of being there I feel I am missing something.
