Hello everyone, just wanted to post a quick intro since I joined two days ago. I’m a 47 year old female with schizoaffective depressive type. Just had to raise my Haldol again to 30 mg and i also take Lamictal, Lexapro, and Klonopin.
I’ve tried to just dive in here but I’m pretty shy. Looking forward to making your acquaintances.
Thank you very much for all the welcomes! I just had another major psychotic episode yesterday and it feels good to read these replies while I’m feeling so fragile today. Helps me feel a lot less alone.
Haldol works well for me at 30 mg. My pdoc recently dropped me to 20 to see if I could handle the lower dose but I had three psychotic episodes in a week and needed my rescue med every day for two weeks. I’m back to 30.
On 30, I will have mild breakthrough hallucination about once a month. That’s a definite victory compared to no meds!
