"Haldol has changed my life. For 30 years, I was living two realities: the real one, in which we all live, and a false delusion that wreaked havoc on my life, costing me a great deal both physically and emotionally. Haldol has been the answer to my prayers. It makes the psychosis and the psychotic anxiety, as well as the delusion, disappear. It's not like you forget; you still remember it, it just goes away, and life gets so much simpler. I take 1mg twice a day, and it has had an amazing impact. I experienced no significant side effects other than constipation in the beginning, but that has long since gone away. Overall, this drug is a godsend."
