I know where you're coming from. I have about 3 hours per day where I feel somewhat normal then the fatigue hits and I wanna kill myself, like I'm drowning in mud. I wish more people from the older threads would come back to give us hope. I'm gonna try messaging them at some point.
 
Every day I wake up feeling suicidal… I feel like I’ve lost a huge part of myself… I’m just so sad and heartbroken… I hate that this happened to me

Did the period pain and headaches come back? I feel like my nervous system cues are all warped and shut down :(

I told you, I never really had painful periods, only a handful of times in my life. I had a headache from a mystery virus two weeks ago. I also feel pain caused by my autoimmune inflammatory disease.

Unfortunately, yes haldol causes greater dysfunction of the dopamine system. Useful in times of crisis but too toxic for regular use.

:( I was given 5mg of it not slow release in the glutes… fast acting I think.. after a man came into my hospital room and was watching me sleep. I’m gutted. I was scared and screamed so they gave me that. It’s disgusting. I’m calling a lawyer today. Has anyone actually healed from haldol?
 
Stay positive y’all. Yesterday I was suicidal but today I feel hopeful that in a few months I should be feeling mostly normal… I’m starting to get excited about things again
 
I had only one injection about 2 months ago in the psych ward and am having trouble losing weight, yet my mind seems pretty fine compared to what others have experienced. Should I be good now?

There was a guy in the older threads who was recovering from haldol long acting injections. It was taking a long time and he stopped posting without any updates IIRC.

I took the haloperidol pills daily for around 2 years. I got horrible withdrawals whenever I reduced the dose below 10mg. Started as insomnia + high anxiety and paranoia and progressively got worse with hallucinations and delusions starting after 2 weeks. After that the tremors started.

I only improved after 2 and a half months because I was prescribed loxapine. And that was during a forced hospital stay. I asked for it before that and was refused.

The good news for you is that a single 5mg fast acting injection of IM haldol won't cause long lasting unwanted effects.
 
Thanks. I’m trying to find his posts. They gave me a crazy cocktail of pills as well and when they found out I wasn’t taking the abilify they shot me with 400mg of abilify. I cannot feel thirst or hunger or emotions or anything in my nervous system. I was a musician before and an artist and I’m a mother and what they have done to me is disgusting. I’ve called a lawyer and they said it is medical negligence. Australia is really terrible for mental health. I had a referral put in by my doctor for a private clinic but it took too long and I just couldn’t take not sleeping anymore so called an ambulance for rest and looking back I wish I chained myself to my bed. I’m losing hope rapidly. I need some hope :(

The bastards gave me two injections in my glutes not my arm so it’s still in my system presumably
