Effects of Haloperidol

[Caroline]

Until we see Sheila's medical notes,if ever,then we don't know what applies to her,or doesn't.
 For instance,if she'd ever spoken of suicide to any of the doctors,because if so,she shouldn't have been receiving Haloperidol or any fluoxetine " type " medication because they exacerbate the urge to commit suicide.
"One size does not fit all" where dangerous medications are concerned.

Then don't generalise!

Your post suggested that anyone who had previously had suicidal thoughts shouldn't take haloperidol because it exasperates such thoughts - it's a generalisation and although it has been a reported side effect that doesn't mean that everyone will experience it.

Like I said " one size doesn't fit all ",meaning it's not suitable for EVERYONE suffering the same symptoms. That ISN'T generalising.

All the side effects listed in my sources in this thread would have effected Sheila's ability to do basic tasks. There were 60 of them.

But despite that we haven't -maybe never will- you're DETERMINED that they hold evidence which will render Jeremy innocent. If you're acknowledging that "One size does not fit all" when it comes to psychomeds, how come you shove down our throats, all these examples of mothers killing children then committing suicide?

Interesting maybe, but none of it applies to Sheila.

How so?

[Caroline]

How so?

Sheila didn't have an alcohol problem, the drugs she had used (according to her psychiatrist) wouldn't affect haldoperidol and she was taking the drug regularly.

Well that's good to know.
I can't understand all the stuff and nonsense that's written all over the internet on the dangers of smoking cannabis and taking Haloperidol. What a bunch of muppets some professionals are  I've been saying it all along that some medics don't know what they're doing.

From your numerous posts, you come across as the number one proponent of how badly cannabis interacts with Haloperidol.

Well it just goes to show,doesn't it ? I may as well go with the flow,it saves argument. Cannabis/cocaine obviously doesn't alter the effects of medication.Must jot that down.

So what effect do these noxious substances have if you don't take Haloperidol ? Any ??

[Steve_uk]

Why is Haloperidol prescribed for a period and then the instructions are you stop?

That doesn't answer the question.

How does none of this apply to Sheila?

More than half of the patients had a history of alcohol consumption or drug use within 6
months before the assault. Additionally, 18% were intoxicated during the offense. In 24 cases
(62%), subjects had been prescribed psychotropic medication before the offense. Of those, 9
stopped taking the psychotropic medication and 11 took it irregularly (20/24, 83%). Of the 20
patients, 7 (35%) were under a professional’s care.

When ever I'm put on different meds, the doctor brings up my previous meds to make certain there won't be adverse reactions. NOTHING in life is 100% fail safe, but if we went with that, nothing would get done. No one would be prescribed, just in case. Whilst you may know those who have had unfortunate experiences, OR can give lists of those who have, from the media, it has to be remembered that the vast majority WILL be able to take -and thrive on- those meds you claim are dangerous.
