A member asked:
Can haldol (haloperidol) cure histrionic personality disorder?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
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.

Histrionic: Haldol (haloperidol) is a heavy tranquilizer, a first generation neuroleptic antipsychotic drug typically used for the psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. Intensive psychotherapy is best thought of as a way to treat histrionic, but not cure it. I would recommend psychoanalysis, with medication only as needed.

No: Haldol is used primarily for the treatment of psychosis. It is not a cure for a personality disorder.
