Is like being on drugs...I mean, I know it's a drug...you know what I mean. It took me 20 minutes to wash two plates and two forks because the water and the soap felt so good (and, holy crap, plates are SO SMOOTH). But I had such little anxiety that I didn't spill a single drop of coffee...which is strange. I've also washed my hands a about six times already this morning. And brushed my teeth. And this is pretty much the first time in 19 years that I haven't actively thought that being dead is the best thing for me. I feel really weird. I've decided it's a bad idea to drive. For whatever reason I also want to go to church. And I'm an atheist. WHAT IS THIS MAGIC?

You may be on a dosage that's a little bit too high. Haldol is to make you feel better, more calm & cool, but not to the extent where it takes 20 minutes to get through washing a couple of dishes. Not driving is a good idea.

It sure does sound as though you were present in the moment though!

LOL it was 0.5 mg. It was just my first dose. First doses are always strange. I'm through it and functioning completely well now.

I don't know if it is magic or not, but I think I want some. (Mostly kidding.)

Glad you feel better.
