It might help. Definitely talk to your pdoc about it.
As you know, I take 30 mg of Haldol all at night. Before it got increased, I was on 20 mg all at night. My pdoc suggested I try taking 10 mg in the morning and 10 mg at night to minimize the side effects. I did it for ten days, but ended up psychotic again, hearing voices, so I went back to taking all 20 mg at night. I think the twice daily dosing was maintaining a lower steady level of Haldol in my system and it wasn't enough for me. Maybe you will get a better result. This is only my experience.
(Jury's still out about whether 30 mg is helping more. It's been just over a week and I am still popping Klonopin for anxiety, which I was hoping to decrease. I've only heard voices once this week though, so that is good).
