See a psychiatrist.: There are other medications that may be effective and more tolerable for you. Some of your complaints may be side effects that can be managed with the help of a psychiatrist.

Why given meds? : Less likely that Haldol (haloperidol) would be causing akathesia after stopping for six days. Have you bee nsuffering from insomnia to start with? Also ask yourself a question why were you given Haldol (haloperidol) in the first place? Do not underestimate the reason why? It is all the more important to achieve relief that seek discontinuation. Ask your md for a different medication. Good luck.
