How bad is it? Most likely it will pass but don't take it again until you see your pdoc. If the symptoms get worse and persist go to a doctor or even ER. 99% chance it will pass soon and you will be fine. Keep us posted.

I'm sorry this is happening to you, especially right now. Hang in there. Do you think your physical symptoms are something that will eventually diminish or do you need to contact your pdoc? Thinking of you.

A increase in haldol will do that while your just starting it. It will pass usually by a week.

I hate your going through this

Don't be scared. You'll be alright. Just talk to your doctor about it next time you see him/her.

The Haldol gave me horrible muscle cramps last night. I figure I need maybe a higher dose of cogentin. I take 0.5 mg right now

No fun.

Sorry you are going through this.

Is there any chance of reaching your pdoc (or an on-call pdoc) this weekend?

If not, how about a pharmacist?
A pharmacist cannot change your prescription, yet may be able to help you with options.

For some reason haldol gives me really bad panic attacks. I had it in the hospital once and they had to give me iv lorazepam and benedryl.
