I've edited this to add...I'm seriously concerned about you. Will it be you who has to make arrangements for your brother? I truly believe you need to go IP.

I was going to write about taking 4mg. of Haldol, sleeping lousy, and feeling like my eyelids are heavy...but I'm shocked at Jennifer's terrible news. So for now I'm sending love to all, comfort, peace.

The Haldol didn't help you sleep? But it made you feel dozey?

I'm so very sorry Jennifer. And I agree with Beth that you need IP somehow. Is M still with you?

I slept from 2:30 to 5! I hope by staying up until 10 or 11 that I can get to sleep and get up at relatively decent times.

No, in fact, my sleep was odd. When I finally did fall asleep I felt like I stayed in a very light sleep. Then today I feel dopey.

Maybe the light sleep had nothing to do with the Haldol? Are you taking it at bedtime or is there also a daytime dose?

I take it a little while before bedtime. I wasn't thinking that the Haldol caused the light sleep, I'm just thinking that it didn't do much of anything. I really don't understand how that could be, though?! I mean...4mg. of Haldol and I don't even feel it (except this morning, my eyelids felt heavy)??? I don't get it. I'm seriously worried that parts of my brain (neurons) are burned out or something from so many decades of meds.
