How old are you? Are you normal weight? Have you gained or lost weight rapidly or started dieting or exercising a lot? All those things can affect your cycle too. Do you take any type of hormonal birth control? Any chance of pregnancy? Were your cycles regular before the Haldol? Do you have kids? Having a child unfortunately shortened my cycle length by 5 days once it started up again after nursing, but for one of my sisters, her cycles were just crazy unpredictable after kids.
I'm 36 and normal weight, though I do lose weight and gain weight rapidly. Not drastic changes though. I'm not on hormonal birth control. I have one 7 year old daughter but didn't breast feed. Before the haldol my periods were mostly regular, though sometimes I would skip a month. I can't be pregnant. I would have had the baby already lol.

I have to mention this to my pdoc during my next appointment. I don't mind not having my period, but it can't be healthy.
