I'm glad your order expires soon(ish). I know that's not much comfort right now, with them being so controlling and everything, but...it won't be much longer until you can have more freedom.
5 meds is a lot. I take 4 daily...ugh. I tried to get one drug (trileptal) dropped, since I'm also on lamictal. I was all "could you just increase the lamictal and drop the trileptal?" and dude doc was all "NO." Actually, he didn't even say no, he just gave a blank stare, shook his head, and kept on with the convo.
Docs are weird about haldol. They still use it, all the time, but then when they want to talk about how great the new(er) drugs are...they compare them to high doses of Haldol. Thing is...if you keep the dose low(ish), Haldol isn't terrible, except for the high risk of Tardive dyskinesia.
Hope things work out for you.

As my pdoc told me "it's a strong med. that's why I put you on a Low dose of 2mg."
