can you elaborate further on haldol….did you take it as a mood stabilizer prior to the dates of travel or only during the travel and did you use it after landing if you were destable. Need for you to clarify as i will discuss this with my pdoc. I use seroquel for sleep which works great and want to be totally knocked out during these long flights….but its the days of trying to get stable that are worrisome as we will be w/another couple and will need some down time to stabilize.
