I don't get on the boards as often as I used to, but this doesn't come up real often so I wanted to comment. My pdoc gave me haldol for what he thought was tics/tourettes. The dose was 0.25mg per night (half of the smallest pill) and told me I could start taking a whole pill if I thought it was helping/didn't have any side effects. I never had a consistant effect on my tics/movements. However, I also have issues with anxiety and sometimes when I get anxious, stressed out, late at night, or just because, I start hearing voices/getting paranoid. The few weeks I did regularly take Haldol those didn't happen. My pdoc told me I didn't need/have to take it since it didn't help with the movements, but I still have a bottle and take Haldol prn when I start to get agitated, restless, etc. and it seems to have enough of a calming effect without knocking me out. The first week I started taking it I noticed that it would make me tired and lightheaded, but I don't have that problem anymore.
