Thanks Christina. I went off haldol with my pdoc’s permission because I thought it was causing my jaw to twitch, but that wasn’t it anyway. I’m not sure if I still would have done well without it for longer if lockdown hadn’t completely stressed me out. Maybe, maybe not, as I tend to get hypomanic in the spring anyway. But for now I will stay on it. When drs open back up I will see an endocrinologist to take care of the hyperprolactinaemia. I will probably need to add another med (bromocriptine) to combat it but it’s a small price to pay for a med that works so well, especially because most of them don’t! I will def stay on haldol unless my pdoc says we can do another trial off of it. Probably next summer after the risk of spring hypomania has passed.

Yes, sometimes we just don’t want to admit we need the meds that we need!
