The Haldol is a miracle drug. Since I started taking it, I haven't had the images show up in my thoughts very often at all. But it quiets all the noise in my brain so I'm not being bombarded 24/7.
No good thing comes without a heavy price. And I'm learning what that is for Haldol. It makes my muscles cramp and my joints feel like they're all on fire. It's agony. But there is a magical med called Cogentin, and it pretty much eliminates the aching. I might still be shaking like I have Parkinsons but at least that makes it not painful.
I'm pretty sure I have to give up the Haldol. It's getting so painful... And the Cogentin doesn't seem to work as well as it did before. Oh well..
