Does haldol cause greying? in mental patient gossip, i heard that haldol causes greying. i last year suddenly got grey beard. i am 43. however i am 15 years younger than the next in line brother. he and the next one older than him do not have grey bear

According : According to the side effect profile of Haldol (haloperidol) on drugs.Com, there have been a few reported cases of loss of hair, but not of premature graying. Your gray beard is more likely due to age and genetics - 43 is a perfectly normal age for gray hair. As far as your brother goes - you only share 50% of your genes, so you won't necessarily go gray at the same age. Other reasons for gray hair are: - hormones - climate - pollutants - chemicals.

Highly unlikely: Medicines like Haldol (haloperidol) should not affect the graying process. I too have older brothers with dark hair while mine turned white years ago. Mostly like genetic, although stress may play a role as well.

Grey hair: Not likely. More related to environmental factors such as stress, or hereditary.
