I used to have to take 10mg of haloperidol for it to work… maybe you need a higher dose? But then I did need cogentin as well for the side effects so maybe not so good.
Also I remember reading when I was about to go back on it at one stage (didn’t end up doing it) that it can also cause insomnia - so I guess it doesn’t always help with sleep.
