my doctor has dosed me up high on haldol. he has me on 15mg a day. not to mention the other 5-6 medicines im on with it.
So I know you're taking the ones for sleep do those make you feel less optimistic or is it just the haldol/antidepressant. I'm just wondering if you're reacting differently for things for mental vs physical illness as lack of sleep might be seen or migraines might be seen? If so you really aren't be fair to yourself as they all have some physical basis....
