My pdoc has switched me from Seroquel to Haldol. Just wondering what I should be expecting. Is it similar to Thorazine? I hope not, Thorazine made me a pacing zombie.

I told Haldol years ago .. I did have some akathesia issues after a few weeks of taking it , but my Pdoc and I figured out if I took a dose once every 3 days , It worked well but I did need to take Cogentin and Inderal at times to manage the Akathesia.

Good Luck

I have Cogentin kicking around here somewhere so I'll keep them handy just in case. Thank you

I know that haldol is not prescribed nearly as much as it once was...I think because it does tend to have a really strong "zombie" effect...but my experience with it many years ago was pretty good. I remember that the haldol made me feel like I was having a mental break, which felt comforting to me.
