Question 1

does taking a litle extra seroquel and haldol (haloperidol) still make me a drug addict?

Accepted Answer

Not wise: Both of the medications you mentioned, seroquel and Haldol (haloperidol) are very potent and can have side-effects. As such, it is not a good idea to take any more of these medications (or really any more of any other prescribed medications for that matter) than your doctor has prescribed.

Question 2

i'm 23/male haldol, (haloperidol) seroquel xr caused hair loss. what are the reasons someone would be sensitive to anti psychotics?

Accepted Answer

Anti-psychotics: Some are more prone to the side effects of anti-psychotics than other due to their genetic make up. Also, certain drug interactions can make it worse as well. Discuss your problem with your doc to see what can be done.

Question 3

tried geodon, (ziprasidone) risperdal, abilify, haldol, seroquel, zyprexa and dislike all them. for paranoid schizophrenia. dont like insomnia, akathisisa, weightga

Accepted Answer

Talk w/psychiatrist: You have not asked a question here, but have expressed your displeasure with some of the available antipsychotic medications for your illness.  Please discuss this with your own psychiatrist, as there are still other options available.  Paranoid schizophrenia is a serious illness and does need treatment.   Best wishes.

Question 4

my schizophrenic father missed his nightly once a day divalproex, haloperidol, and quetiapine. do i give it to him this morning or wait until night? p.s. he typically takes divalproex er in the morning, but missed the nightly delayed release?

Accepted Answer

: Arrange to have the pills taken back on schedule as soon as possible and speak to your doctor about it. If you are going to supress the abnormal behaviour with drug therapy then the patient needs to be kept on a strict routine.  There are of course other teatment techniques that do not involve drugs that you might want to consider. But discuss this with your doctor first before making any changes.

Question 5

Question 8

what is the treatment for haldol (haloperidol) overdose?

Accepted Answer

Mostly supportive: There is no antidote for an overdose of haldol (haloperidol).  If caught acutely, lavage to get as much out of the stomach as possible, plus charcoal to absorb some.  Large overdose can produce serious life-threatening effects on the body, including elevated temp, heart problems, muscle spasms, etc.  Some symptoms can be counteracted with other medications; most require support until passes out of body.

Question 9

can haldol (haloperidol) cure histrionic personality disorder?

Accepted Answer

Personality disorder: That would be best to ask a doctor or psychiatrist who is prescribing haldol--a discussion of what the Haldol (haloperidol) is being used to treat would be very educational, if one doesn't know already. Personality disorders can be treated with medication if indicated by a doctor. However, personality disorders are long-standing, and aren't cured with medications.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Antipsychotic?: I think you probably mean "antipsychotic drugs". These medicines can potentially be used for several years. This depends on whether the medicine is still needed and whether it is being well tolerated.
