“I am now more than halfway off my antidepressant, using the program. I was able to reduce a little bit of the medication with my naturopath, but we reached a standstill after the second reduction. The side effects started and we could not get rid of them. The Omega 3 got rid of the brain zaps within a few hours and they never came back. The Body Calm has been amazing at helping me stay calm during the day and with my sleep. And that barley did just what you said it would do for my energy and complete feelings. I can’t thank you enough.”

New York"I am weeping tears of gratitude as I write this. I shall be eternally grateful to James Harper and his work, The Road Back Program, and his fine books especially "How To Get Off Psychiatric Drugs Safely" and all his other wonderful books available here on Amazon.com. James Harper has not only literally saved my life---but he has given my life back to me, my loved ones, and to my many patients. How does one give thanks to another human being for literally saving one's life?
Haldol is an anti-psychotic medication generally prescribed for the long term care of antipsychotic therapy.
Caution should be used prescribing this medication. Haldol can cause psychotic behavior and hallucinations. Haldol should never be taken within 14 days of antidepressant usage.
If you just reread the above paragraphs twice, you read correctly. It can and does cause the same psychotic reactions it is prescribed to treat.
The most common side effect experienced by patients in clinical trials with HALDOL were extrapyramidial reactions (EPS), a syndrome involving involuntary facial, arm, leg and body movements. In most cases, these reactions were usually mild to moderately severe and usually reversible. The side effects of HALDOL Decanoate 100 and HALDOL Decanoate 50 are those of oral HALDOL. The prolonged action of HALDOL Decanoate 100 and HALDOL Decanoate 50 should be considered in the management of side effects.
