NO: "Peri-menopause" will NOT make your anti-psychotic medication less effective! STICK TO WHAT YOUR TREATING MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL IS ADVISING YOU TO DO! Good Luck Hope this helps! BE WELL! Dr Z

Schizoaffective Diso: I commend the patient, mental health professionals, and caretakers for effective treatment, recovery and placing patient at work. Recovery is good with Schizoaffective Disorder with Individual and Group Therapy, monitoring of Haldol (haloperidol) side effects by psychiatrist and medical Follow up. There is no clinical research showing ineffectiveness of treatment during peri-menopause.
