Haloperidol - The worst Psychiatric medicine ever in history?

yeah a neuroleptikum... technically it destroys your brain cells...

It blows my mind it can even be called "medicine"

well i have that problem with many things in modern "medicine"

Most psychiatric meds invented before 1980 should be banned.
They wanted lobotomize alive patients to have easy work at hospitals

the newer ones aint better... just look at all the shooters on ssris...


and then chemotherapy might be worse still if you look into it closely...

Progress from when they just used to shock treat the brain into oblivion.

unlike the medication electroconvulsion therapy actually worked kind of well...

That reminds me " redneck rampage " formula - how to make man agressive crazy
Ritalin + valium + prozac , taken together

.

EST - electroshock therapy - really did have some benefit for some patients.


unlike haldol

which benefits purely the caregivers. It works the same way any hugely forceful tranquilizer would - quickly and efficiently.

Never saw it given as a straight - (regularly taken drug) but as a prn (as needed) drug for extreme agitation.


that scene in ER where Rosmary Clooney is given a drug that causes her to stop singing "Everything's coming up Roses" in mid-sylable - works like that.

Is that in the same family as Haldol?
I know that one clamps the brain like a bench vice.

on the schizophrenia facebook groups, some people say haldol works for them.

it supposedly has a higher probability of eps or movement disorders, but less metabolic side effects like diabetes and weight gain.

In the 80s and 90s haldol was used to treat Tourette syndrome. Space stuff
