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)

 3  Bipolar Extreme weight gain, sleepyness, memory loss, unable to focus as usual. It is the ONLY medication that worked for me. The news anti psychotics do not work for me. So I am stuck. I am now not taking it at heavy dosage but lower doses, so it is more tolerable. M 30 5 years

 5  doctors keek insisting on it! I tend to sleep ALOT! and that puts on an extra 15 pounds that I hate. I was a little slower than normal but hey, better than erratic. my husband says im much easier to get along with when i take it and i agree 100%. I feel calm, normal "smoothed out" but NOT sedated or "medicated". Ive been on at least 6 others and this is the second try for haldol, and this time for keeps F 36 3 months
