To those taking more than one dose of Haldol a day

Can you tell me how often you take it? And any side effects you have because of it.

I take 5mg twice daily. When I first started taking it I had really bad leg cramps/restless legs and zero motivation. They both went away after a while, (maybe 3 months?) and now I don’t have many issues.

What are you experiencing?

Right now I am not experiencing any side effects. I am only on .5mg in the morning and 1.0mg in the evening. The doctor informed me that she would be increasing to 5mg in the morning and 5mg in the evening.

The only advice I have is go up slowly. The sudden change from 2 to 5 mg in the morning/evening is what really made my legs hurt. I already have issues with restless legs, though, so hopefully you don’t and won’t have those issues. Good luck.

led,you think after some time i wont feel it anymore,just ill be fine? now i am tired,have dizziness sometimes, blurred vision and i feel heavy from the illness… i event dont know how to explain it…
otherwise,i take two pills of 1,5 mg in the morning. i have 5 mg of zyprexa in the evening also :slight_smile:

Haldol is very potent- just 1mg does the trick for some, but then others take up to 30mg per day split up into 5-10mg doses at a time.

If you are on 30mg of haldol and not a zombie, you win the schizophrenia contest, because that means you are really really really schizophrenic.

mortimer and not being zombie on 3 mg also means that i am a schizo thats right?hah…:slight_smile: i am still waiting to land on earth. i am tense even in the company of my mom,i am tightening,its like autistic also
