With meds, you never know. It’s such an individual thing I did not do well on Haldol but do do well with ziprexa which a lot of people don’t like at all. So, whatever floats your boat.

My doctor mentioned Haldol to me. I’m not sure when the change from Risperdal to Haldol will happen, but I’m glad to see you like it so far.

I’ve been on Haldol for about a year and a half and latuda for about 4 years. They both work well for me except the Haldol causes leg twitches. But i’m on 25 mgs a day compared to your 2 mgs a day.

When I was on the Haldol shot I was pretty miserable, but Haldol did do some good things for me. At one point I was on 40 mg a day. That was really bad.

@crimby I am sorry haldol didnt work out for you. Are you on good meds for you now?
Right now I am on Geodon and Seroquel and I’m doing fine. These med’s have been like a God send for me.
