Withdrawal from Haldol -uncomfortable feeling - found pharmacy that carries it - same thing happened last year - need backup plan

[Shnookie]

Hi 👋 guys. It’s Shnookie. Finally found another pharmacy that carries generic Haldol. Problem that I can feel withdrawal

symptoms but not as bad as other meds.

This happened to me last year as well. Need a backup plan but hate this because the Haldol makes me feel better

I think your best bet would be to talk with a psychiatrist. Discuss your side effects and withdrawal symptoms. If you can’t afford a psychiatrist a Primary Care Physician can also do med management.

Thank U for your good advice. Because

I’m on Medi Cal, I’ve had the same

psychiatrist 4 almost 5 years. She has played and tweaked my meds. The issue is

that the Haldol really helps me out. Last year, there was a manufacturing issue.

I was already running on empty and she tried to tweak my meds. It worked to a lesser extent and unfortunately with other

factors, I needed to go on stress related

disability. My disability is running out and

I have just found a new part-time job fortunately. I just want to stay on the

Haldol because it makes me feel better.

Hugs 🤗 Shnookie

Okay! I’m sorry that’s so frustrating! I’m glad you found a medication that works for you!

U R so sweet. As U R well aware balancing and tweaking meds is a delicate process. The pharmacy where I’m picking up the Haldol is setting up a profile for me. The pharmacist was very helpful. I’m so lucky to have a support group like this.
