User Reviews for haloperidol oral

THIS WAS RECOMENDED FOR HELP WITH THE CONSTANT ANEXITY,CRYING,THE SHAKES AND JUST GENERAL FRASURATION WITH MY STOMACH ISSUES

I have been taking Haldol off and on for the last 19 years. I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia when I was 29 and hospitalized. I was given Haldol and it worked fairly quickly (within 1week). Now when I start feeling paranoid, I take up to 2mg - 10mg as needed. Usually over the weekend because it causes drowsiness and a feeling of being sedated. I do have some muscle problem with my face and do not know if this is related to the Haldol or Seroquel or Lamictal that I am taking. The raised cheek problem does appear to be neurological. I am currently under a doctors care and checking this out. Read More Read Less

This drug seemed to work well when I first started taking it. Now, my TS is to the point where I am looking for a new medication. The only side effect that is unbearable, is being extremely tired during the day.

I started taking this drug for sleep. However, I started to have vivid nightmares. I'm not positive if others had this problem. It did not help sleep.

I think I've been perscribed this drug along with citalopraim HBR 20mg for depression. I feel like I'm having a nervous breakdown and these drugs have done nothing to help me. I feel worthless and hopeless. My life is not worth living and there's no chance things will ever get better for me.

Please please do not give this drug to your parents - my 82 year old mother has dementia and it almost killed her. she has been in the hospital for over a month with all the side effects of the drug and now has a stomach tube when she was eating everything! DO Not Give This Drug to your parents!!!

I have clincel depression and this med makes it worse. there are tremmors and if taken at night I can not eaven sleep. What is up with that.

i did not like this med atall. it causes severe headaches and i felt like someone hit me over the head. i was very very dizzy as well. i had muscle spasms and stiffness too. i couldn't even get up to walk i was so dizzy. i was out for a long time too. not myself on this drug. i felt like i was under when u go for surgery. i thought i ws going to pass out,. my heartrate was very fast and i had trouble breathing too.

I have been on this medication for approximately 7 years. It has almost completely eliminated my tics. My life has improved so much since I've been on this medication.

Had a seizure and was very hostile w/ ER staff. After six doses of Ativan did nothing they gave me Haldol to settle me for a CT scan. Calmed me the hell down! I was psychotic for almost 24hours after my seizure. Now I take phenobarbital. (I don't have an RX for Haloperidol).

taking this with nortripilene got rid of my depressiona and schrizophrenic symtoms. I am now able to fuction as a professional accountant full time.

I was given this drug IM at hospital fora severe episde. helped a ton. Was sent home with script. I took 3 doses just like perscribed. After 3rd dose My face screw to the right and my Jaw locked way offset to he right also my tounge swelled and I could'nt talk. It was one of the worse pain I have ever had. After several shots of pain meds and muscle relaxers. They finally gave me cogentin and Immediately my jaw relaxed. Now I am taking cogentin every day and If I am even late to take it my Jaw begins to hurt again. Now I am worred if this is ever going away.Read More Read Less

My 17 yr old son has been on this medication for about a month.He is on the liquid form taking 10 mg at bedtime.It worked very well. Then he started to get blurred vision.Had to stop immediatly.I am so disappointed because this was the only one that worked.Tried abilify (to expensive)and not effective.Risperdol did not work at all to many side effects. Back to the drawing board.I am so upset at this set back.I will not give up for my sons sake.I am determined to find the right medication.

Does not help my uncle at all

It is suppose to calm my aggressive behavior,should my dosage be increased?

My father has been given this.  He has terminal lung cancer and end stage alzheimer's.  His behavior has become cobative, he is so restless he can only sleep about 20 minutes at a time.  He becomes even more confused after administration of this drug.  I would not give this to anyone you love who has these conditions.  Not only do the side effects drive the patient over the edge, the person caring for the patient goes through their own distraught for administering it in the first place.

The dosages I have been given ranged from 1mg to 10mg. The 1mg dose was effective however the 10mg was extremely difficult to function with. My experience with Haloperidol resulted in tremendous weight gain and I have been prescribed other medicine

Too many side effects and trouble with the taking of this Medecation
