Good for you, Sapien. It would not be worth it to me. Haldol is a very old drug. There are newer ones with less awful side effects. IMHO no drug is worth akathisia, or tardive dyskinesia, or dystonia. Your brain could be damaged permanently by drugs with those side effects.
IMO your provider is in over her head. I'm sorry you're not being treated by a real psychiatrist. I believe nurse practitioners should only manage stable patients, which you are not.
You need and deserve treatment to relieve these awful side effects - now.
