Once a IP Pdoc brought it up and downplayed the potential side effects and I called him on it, he dropped it...
Personally I would not take this medication until I had exhausted all other options. I know a few people on this medication and its been a lifesaver for them.
As for Haldol I have taken that in the past. One thing I will say is have Cogention and Indural on hand it can certainly cause some wicked Akathesia in some people.
Russian roulette is what psych meds are when it comes to " Help or harm"
Hope you find some relief
