5mg haloperidol

Experiences? Was it sedating at all? Is that a low/average/high dose?

Thanks x

I take 6.5mg. But have been on 10mg.

It's supossed to be sedating but it didn't have that effect on me. Nothing does.

It is a good med for helping with voices and anxiety.

I was on 20mg/day haloperidol for 9 months. I found 20mg/day sedating but when I've taken 5mg PRN I do not find it sedating. However I had to come off 20mg/day due to tardive dyskinesia risk being even higher than normal due to emergence of abnormal movements.

However I am considering to ask my psychiatrist for PRN 5mg haloperidol as I have found it very helpful for calming myself down, i.e. meltdown / other negative autistic aspects.

I'm on 10mg twice a day now. I haven't noticed any side effects.
