Haldol (haloperidol) shot hurts my psyche, what to do?

Discuss alternatives: Virtually all medications have potential for side effects; what is acceptable vs unacceptable varies from person to person. There may be alternatives to injectable Haldol (haloperidol) that would be effective but would have fewer side effects or the side effects would be more tolerable. Before stopping or changing meds, it's prudent to have a full discussion with your prescribing doctor about other choices.

Agree w Dr. Cook: Not sure what you mean by hurting your psyche. However Haldol is a typical antipsychotic. Side effects are often more tolerable with atypical antipsychotics. Please discuss this with your psychiatrist. Take care.
