I was recently prescribed Haldol 20mg for my severe behavior problems. I've been reading about the potential side effects, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. Some of the urgent side effects listed are quite scary. Has anyone else taken this medication, and if so, what was your experience like? Did you encounter any of the serious side effects, or were they manageable?

Haldol can be a bit tough on the body, but it's worth it if it helps with the symptoms. Just make sure to stay in close contact with your doctor and report any issues right away. Stay strong!

I've been on Haldol for a few months now, and honestly, it's been a game-changer. It helped reduce my agitation quite a bit, but I did have some dry mouth and fatigue. Nothing too severe, thankfully.

I never experienced any real side effects, but I had a friend who had to stop because of some crazy tremors. It's definitely a medication that needs to be monitored closely.

I was on Haldol for a while, and while it did help with my symptoms, I had some really bad dizziness and changes in vision. If you experience anything like that, definitely contact your doctor right away.

I had some twisting and uncontrolled movements. I'd never felt anything like it before. I had to stop taking it because it looked like I was having seizures. If you have any concerning symptoms seek medical help

I've heard Haldol can cause some pretty intense side effects, but it really depends on the person. It's always good to weigh the pros and cons with your doctor.

What about the mental and mood changes? Has anyone experienced those?
