HALDOL  (HALOPERIDOL LACTATE):  Haloperidol is used to treat certain mental/mood disorders (e.g., schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorders). This medicine helps you to think more clearly, feel less nervous, and take part in everyday life. It can also help prevent suicide in people who are likely to harm themselves. It also reduces aggression and the desire to hurt others. It can decrease negative thoughts and hallucinations. Haloperidol can also be used to treat uncontrolled movements and outbursts of words/sounds related to Tourette's syndrome. Haloperidol is also used for severe behavior problems in hyperactive children when other treatments or medications have not worked. Haloperidol is a psychiatric medication (antipsychotic-type) that works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain (neurotransmitters).    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Doctors misdiagnosis I have scoliosis and am also diagnosed with HIV. This halperidol is the worst medication and is prescribed misproperly by doctors who just want to keep a job. I have allergies to this medication (similar to people with peanut butter allergies), and major side effects. For example my neck getting stuck sideways with my head slanted, very painful and last for hours till you do something about it otherwise doesn't go away, and happens for days among weeks after every time. Nobody cared. Instead they would force me to take it. I have scoliosis and am also diagnosed with HIV.

 1  VOICES AND PANIC ATTACTS My husband took this Med.went in hospital stoped taking it. Started again after came home after a couple months he begain to act lathargic drooling slept all day,legs and arms felt like bricks,he slurred all the time. Food on face. It was scary I thought my husband was very I'll. Almost called Ambulance would have wasted our time with just a reaction to a Med. And oh he also takes lithium too. So I guess that causes reaction never was informed from Doctor,pharmacy nothing I figured it out myself. This Med is deadly and never should be given to ANYONE PLEASE! OMG I PRAY. Worst ever, careful sneaky, pharmacy/doctor never informed. 20mg.Dose. Made my husband almost an invalid and it's not cool. M 43 6 months

 1  ER FORCED DUE TO MINOR ANXIETY! Dystonic reactions: Facial,Mouth,Tongue swelling. Uncontrolled movements, difficulty urinating,extreme anxiety, weakness, stiffness, rigid muscles,loss of movement of limbs and trunk,insomnia,tremors. THIS DRUG CAN AND WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE! ER Dr. stated this was just something to relax me as I was anxious due to my being told that I was going to be admitted to hospital (unexplained elevated blood pressure and heart rate). Yes I was concerned. I even cried a little but certainly not combative! The next day my tongue had swelled so badly I could not eat drink swallow or even talk! Breathing was difficult, my lips face and mouth were twitching puckering moving uncontrollably! Those side effects lasted 2 days only to be replaced with lockjaw, drooling, and loss of movement. Left arm is stiff and unusable both legs rigid - cannot walk - trunk is stiff - cannot even turn over in bed. NECK IS STILL STIFF AND TURNED TO ONE SIDE AFTER 3 WEEKS! M 25 1 days

 4  Bipolar mania It slows me down physically first, then mentally. It makes my legs feel heavy. I breathe deeper. It makes my head feel heavy. I am still able to function, but not at full capacity. I take .5mg once or twice per day as needed. I usually take it for 3 days in a row, sometimes 4 days. I only use it once or twice a year. I use it as a last resort if I feel I am no longer able to control myself. I don't like to take it because I don't like the way it makes me feel, but I take it because it works. It appears to me that those of you with bad experiences were given high doses. I only get .5mg. My doctor told me I could cut that in half if I wanted to! I would be scared to take more than .5mg at one time. F 38 4 years

 1  To calm patient in ER WARNING! DRUG FROM HELL! DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ALLOW THIS DRUG TO BE GIVEN TO YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONES! My son has been experiencing horrible side effects - drooling, swelling of face and tongue, cannot eat drink or speak clearly! He is lethargic, cannot urinate, has uncontrolled body movements! Pulse is elevated! Omg this is a nightmare! My son is disabled and in a wheelchair. Last night over 24 hours ago he was given a holdol/atavin injection to "calm" him. They wanted to insert an IV and he was waving his arms around in fear. They lied. This should have worn off and now I fear for his life and his safety :( M 25 1 days

 1  mental breakdown This drug is the absolute WORST!!!!! DO NOT TAKE OR LET THEM GIVE TO A FAMILY MEMBER. My brother was sent to the hospital and placed under psych evaluation for a couple days then sent to a psych hospital only to find out afterward they gave him a 150mg haldol injection. Which is utterly ridiculous for someone with no known issues. We only found this out by probing. His effects were a mess. He had jaw locking which caused him to drool. And he seemed very restless and always wanted to move. He also had an increase in appetite of junk food. We took him to the hospital to see what was wrong and the Dr. IMMEDIATELY stated the haldol was the issue and the dosage was to much for someone with no priot mental issues. To counteract the effects they gave him a crogentin shot and benedryl. Almost a month later He still has some drooling and has to take benedryl. This medicine should be banned and not willingly given to patients!!!!! Should be banned, medical professionals should NOT just give all patient's the same drug doses M 26 1 days
