A member asked:
Are people successfully and comfortably tapered off haldo to another antipsychotic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Haldol (haloperidol) is a very effective antipsychotic and sometimes may be the best to use, but if it is not working or the side effects become intolerable, it is a relatively simple process to taper off the Haldol (haloperidol) and start another antipsychotic.
