1 | Paranoid schizophrenia | Weight gain about 20 pounds which I don't like at all. Makes you feel sleepy all the time. | This drug is awful but does quiet the voices in my head | M | 32 | 5 months 10 mg | 4/4/2018 | 1 | A "mental illness" | Horrible experience with my jaws locking up constantly. I had to keep going to the bathroom because I kept foaming out of the mouth. This was given to me at County Mental Health, San Diego, 3853 Rosecrans St. I kept going to staff and they had to give me something to counteract this. My jaws kept locking up & clenching on me which ruined my teeth. | NOT RECOMMENDED AND HALDOL SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET. Apparently, I got this drug for a type of mental illness? With what I went through I wouldn't give my worst enemy Haldol. | M | 34 | 3 days 30 mg | 1/20/2018 | 1 | PTSD from trauma misdiagnosed as Psyc | I was injected with Haldol resulting in violent ideations uncharacteristic of my character, tongue swelling obstructing breathing, painful jaw breaking swinging, falling and hitting my head twice, arm breaking involuntary movement of limbs, non stop restlessness, flat affect, vision loss and catatonic features. I was forced to take this despite sharing that it had deadly effects. | This is a DANGEROUS DEADLY DRUG NOT suitable for human or animal consumption or administration | F | 35 | 3 days | 1/14/2018 | 3 | Tourrettes | Muscle cramps, restless legs, extreme fatigue, dizziness, confusion | It was a terrible experience and didn't really help with the torrents symptoms. | M | 32 | 3 months 50 | 9/14/2017 | 1 | Exgirlfriend invented lies about me | Strange sensation in my tongue; Muscle stiffness in legs; Problems with thinking (including the loss of ablility to work out arithmetical calculations mentally); Continuous stomach pain; Unexplainable fatigue during the day; Bad dreams at night. | This drug should be stopped completely. Its manufacturers are to be kept financially responsible for all the havoc they are causing around the world, and must also be prosecuted for animal cruelty if the drug had been tested on defenseless animals. | M | 40 | 3 years 5 mg 2X day | 8/30/2017 | 1 | My father could not breathe after haldol. But nurse at st thomas hospital in nashville gave it to him after i asked her not to because the first time they gave it he almost smothered. He died the next day. He suffered all night trying to breathe. Even the next morning they wanted to give him another dose of haldol. St thomas hospital killed my father by sneaking and giving him haldol. They wanted him asleep so they wouldn't have to care for him. All they did for him was bring a fan because he was so hot from trying to breathe. They could have saved him if they had called a doctor. They hadn't even put in his chart how he had suffered to breathe. | M | 74 | 0 days | 8/5/2017 | 1 | Told it was an anti-nausea drug | Impaired movements, muscle stiffness, blurred vision, slurred speech, increased temperature. | Horrible. During the doctor that gave it to me. | F | 18 | 1 days | 3/26/2017 | 1 | Forced. restless in hospital | Hallucinations. Confusion. Restlessness. | A truly evil drug. Any jerk that prescribes it should be forced to take it. Then their ability to prescribe should be taken away. | F | 58 | 1 times 2 | 3/7/2017 | 3 | tourettes | Tremors, blurred vision, blurred speech | Worried about my young son taking haloperidal as not sure if these are serious side effects and should stop as other treatments not worked either | M | 11 | 5 months 2.5 | 1/5/2017 | 5 | Schizophrenia | Slight tremor, pacing, restlessness. | I was put on Haldol after trying several atypicals: Abilify (no effect), Risperdal (high blood pressure/ heart arrhythmia), and Geodon (Panic attacks/ nightmares). The difference has been night and day, and I am very glad I was switched. Although it's an older medicine, it works much better for me than the newer drugs have. I have noticed some side effects (slight tremor/ pacing/ restlessness) but nothing too serious. I will definitely be sticking to Haldol and I recommend it for anyone else suffering from similar issues. | F | 22 | 7 months 15mg 1X day | 12/21/2016 | 1 | Misdiagnosis of Schizophrenia | I was prescribed Haldol while involuntarily held at Spring Harbor Mental Hospital due to my misdiagnosis. During the time in which I was on Haldol, I was completely unaware of my surroundings; other patients would later tell me that I was basically a vegetable for most of the time I was on it, unable to talk, move, or react to anything. Inside my head, I was constantly experiencing incomprehensible nightmares (think like something along the lines of the final boss battle from the game Earthbound, but being fought 24/7). After being taken off of Haldol, and being released from the hospital, I noticed that I was dealing with more migraines than usual, I couldn't think as easily, and I slowly began to realize that my long-term memories had been, for lack of a better term, "scrambled like eggs." My memories weren't simply gone, but instead, I had multiple variations in my mind of everything that I remembered, and parts of many memories were superimposed onto parts of many others. | If you're a patient, never take Haldol. If you're a doctor, never prescribe Haldol. If you're a lawmaker, ban Haldol. | F | 24 | 1X day | 12/4/2016 | 2 | Headache,memory problems,loss of sex drive, no desire to do anything I used to do before | If you want,you can contact me on my email [email protected] to share experience | F | 19 | 5 days | 11/24/2016 | 5 | Anger anxiety | Bit of Abdominal pain | MAKE SURE YOU ARENT A TARGETED INDIVIDUAL SEARCH SYMPTOMS ON GOOGLE | M | 25 | 1 months 10MG | 8/18/2016 | 5 | dx of alzheimwer-agitation | Tilted head, jerky movements, inability to talk, inability to control sphinters, rigidity, could not sit or walk, stupor | My father was given haldol due to his agitation. He came walking, talking, controlling sphinters. Disoriented by the Alzheimer and unable to sleep will turn him uncooperative and aggressive. Psychiatrist gave him aripripazol and lithium. My father is awake but loss all ability... Haldol was stopped... Still has not recovered. It was administered without speaking clearly about the damage it could cause to a px with alzheimer | M | 76 | 7 days 5 x 2 | 6/1/2016 | 1 | one shot ER | a bit of a stiffness in my shoulder that gone after taking one other pill, never to come back. | this crap should be terminated asap | M | 21 | 1 times ??? 1X O | 5/31/2016 | 4 | Schizoaffective Disorder | Mainly loss of memory | My son has been taking this drug for about 5 months along with Abilify. It was working great for him but decided to lower the dosage gradually in 4 months from 4MG to 1 and 1/2 MG. He did not do well with lower dosage so he up it again to 2 MG. Working great for his Paranoia and anxiety. For the past 3 years he has tried about 10 to 12 different anti-psychotic meds but the combination of Haldol and Abilify has worked the best for him. Every one reacts differently in these drugs. Don’t give up! | M | 23 | 5 days 2 MG 1X day | 5/26/2016 | 5 | Bipolar | 40 | 7 weeks 5mg | 5/6/2016 | 1 | schizophrenia | uncontrollable extreme bouts of rage in morning, stiffness, no motivation, agitation, confusion, memory loss, dementia | these drugs are horrific, have destroyed my son, misdiagnosed and mismedicated, immediately better after taking off haldol | M | 27 | 3 years 5mg 2X day | 5/6/2016 | 1 | one dose in ER | Got a shot this morning at 7am and by 1pm I was in an ambulance having a siezure my jaw locked and my legs as well and hands shaking i was givin 100mg of benadryl and no test were done they just sent me home and told me stay on benadryl for a few days they tried to kill me by giving me that crap the dr didnt believe me either until he saw me after it released and then said oh yah now i can tell the difference and sent me home | F | 33 | 1 days | 5/1/2016 | 1 | Poisoning | Can't talk anymore | Do not approve it with the FDA..let's do a class action lawsuit. | M | 1 days | 4/24/2016 |
