Discussions tagged “Long Acting Injectables”

I've been prescribed Haloperidol Decanoate 100mg/ml Vial, 5ml for schizophrenia. The nurse told me it's a long-acting injectable, but there's a lot of info online about side effects — scary stuff! I'm feeling overwhelmed. Who's had experience with this medication? What can I expect? How do you deal with the side effects or the injection itself? Any advice for managing this treatment long term?
