This is the cure. Two or more mg causes sedation, but 1.5mg is like magic. I have never been this well since my first psychotic break.
2 mg binds too strongly to dopamine receptors, while less than 1 mg actually makes you even more psychotic.
Everyone get on 1.5 mg haloperidol and be free.
I even do it myself. I researched the dosage myself, and found 1.5 to be perfect. My life went from ending to unprecedented hopefulness and serious progress.
One time I was on 40 mg daily of Haldol. That was bad.
Does it take away all your symptoms?
I can bounce around between 3mg and 4mg but if I go lower I start feeling like a target of people. Get a little paranoia to.
I have never been on the tablets but have been injected with Haldol more than a couple of times.
It seems to lift my mood.
A really good med for me.
Not quite. It is just better than all the other meds I have tried. Now I would say that is largely due, in part, to how a low dose pumps dopamine into the prefrontal cortex. Before schizophrenia diagnosis, I was like one of those elite kids at an elite institution. I was on track to work in either intelligence, military, or defense. I was trained in Krav Maga and also taught French in order to get a start on that career. I was interested in physics and psychology, especially neuroscience before I lost my mind.
Now I am back doing all of that shyt. My brain is healing VERY quickly. My memory since I was 18 is pretty ■■■■■■ up, but I do recall facts I learned, and my critical thinking and analytical skills are actually better. Apparently I took a standardized test while hungover and on a few migs of xanax. It didnt turn out that bad, but I am sort of relying on my thesis and GPA as credentials. ACT went fine, I was sane when I took it.
I sort of wish I could do what I set out to do as a teen, but I dig research enough to be happy now.
So yes, it controls symptoms, but not to the extent to where I think being exposed to combat is on the list of realistic careers.
I have that targeted feeling to an extent. I just roll with it. It isnt that bad when I reality test.
Glad it’s working so well for you @AmateurUnlicensedQuack !!
Are you working? I can get a bit of stress at work and between that and the targeted feeling. I can easily get pulled into a confrontation at times. Think I could do 3mg away from work possibly. I always try to do the minimum ,I’m pretty sure I’m there for me anyway. At 3-4 mg
I am interviewing for jobs- it is hard to find one that I can do school around. I have been occupied with getting graduate school lined up, looks like I actually got it sorted out this time (actually have connections in two departments, but stongly prefer one that isnt officially stamped yet in lieu of the one that is).
But to be straight to the point, it depends on what kind of work. One on one with people or working with objects has me feeling as if I do not even have anything wrong with me (no symptoms) but too many loud people ■■■■■■■ annoy me.
Is Haldol the only psychiatric med you take?
I take prazosin for PTSD (thanks psychiatry for giving me phukin benzos, barbituates, and partial dopamine agonists; these caused it) and wellbutrin XL for cognitive enhancement
Hey… i’m on prazosin too. Do you mean the benzos etc caused your PTSD?
I can’t believe you guys like Haldol so much. For me, it was a horror drug. It turned me into a zombie. It did control my symptoms, though.
Yes
It was benzos and barbituates plus an experimental drug called rexulti which makes you manic and insane
Tripping while having xanny insomnia and barbituate ■■■■

Do you think it would help everyone? Or does it depend on your genetics?
I see. Do you find the prazosin helps? I just started it for anxiety and nightmares. I’m on 2mg which seems like a pretty low dose, but I’m not sure how much it’s helping yet.
5mg cures that bull
depends on dose taken and level of health
I took a Haldol injection for about a year. It was no good for me. Glad to hear Haldol works for you.
