Anyone have any thoughts on Topamax (on it for 9 days now and up to 50mg now) and Haldol (just Rx'd 2mg @bed and will start tonight)?
Dear one, so much pain! Feel sad about it. Really do. I had no idea they still use Haldol. Could be that the combination may prove to be good. Topamax is used for epilepsy among other things. 50mg. Not much as yet. Needs time to get accustomed to. As for Haldol - you might prevent sunburn if you use sunscreen while out. It is known for making skin and eyes sensitive to light. Hope that you can hook up with a professional for monitoring how your metabolism reacts. Don't be afraid if you sleep more than usual. Besides, sleep is the best medication there is. Do not exceed any given recommendation by doc. That is a major bit of advice every patient is given including not stopping. This was my personal experience when I was on the very same drugs. Only I was given way more than 2mg Haldol. Take care. DON*T be an habitual quitter anymore. Your health is way too important for that. The meds may be bitter but they can very well be your salvation. Never forget that.
