A member asked:
Is haloperidol used for schizophrenia treatment only? i am prescribed with halo. i am expriencing voice hallucinations and was diagnoised with ptsd.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Haldol (haloperidol): Can be used 'off-label'. It is an older antipsychotic medication that has indications for schizophrenia ; tourette disorder. It can be used for psychotic or dissociative symptoms (such as can occur with ptsd). I prefer working with the newer class of atypical antipsychotics. Take care.
