I’m guessing that you are asking for the lowest recommend dose for Sz…

" What is the dosage for Haldol (haloperidol)?

  • The recommended oral dose for schizophrenia is 0.5-5 mg two or three times daily up to a maximum dose of 30 mg daily. The lactate solution dose is 2-5 mg every 4-8 hours as needed by intramuscular injection. The lactate solution may also be administered by intravenous injection at 1-2 mg every 2-4 hours and titrated to effect. The maximum single injection dose is 50 mg and the maximum daily dose is 500 mg daily. The dose for the decanoate solution is 10-20 times the daily oral dose once monthly by intramuscular injection. The decanoate solution should not be administered intravenously."

I take 4mg haloperidol . Any lower and I get a few problems .I’m taking 500mg amisulpride with it too though

I’m a 5mg daily.

Seems to work.

20mg for intense episodes, sleep for two days afterwards to reset.

I’m supposed to take 5mg 3x a day, but I just take morning and bedtime. If I took lunch too I’d be a zombie (and not the good kind)

10mg was very effective at giving me nasty side effects
