Haldol, is an anti-psychotic, I would think if it is an anti-psychotic, it may not do as much for anxiety, as anti-anxiety meds do.
I have one brother that years ago was given Haldol in the hospital cause he had been messing around with "Angel Dust" and was out of control as well as psychotic, so they dosed him up with that, with his case I think it was us, his family that had the anxiety, since those days he has gotten his act together. I have 2 older brothers, they are like "night" and "day".
Sorry I couldn't have given you much info on Haldol, I just wanted you to know the type of case my brother's was and how Haldol was used on him.
Maybe the doc is taking you off the Klonopin to help prevent addictive risks? Meds in the "Benzo" family can be addictive and pdocs/docs use caution when prescribing them, Klonopin though is likely to be less addictive than Ativan it's "cousin".
If not confident about all of this ask your pdoc for more info, even documented info. cause a developing fetus can be at risk, it's tough enough that many things can be a risk to them, so I would personally take and make all efforts to assure yourself, after all if you do become pregnant you do not need that sort of stress worrying about the affect your meds can have on your baby, no mom wants to risk the health of their children.
Very good that you came here to ask for info from real live people that may be on Haldol.
You can try posting drug questions on our forum for that, you may get more replies pertaining to the med and effects.
I wish you luck
