In reply to Haloperidol for Tic Disorder.....anyone taking?, posted by SLynn on March 10, 2003, at 9:41:45
Hi:I haven't taken Haldol, but know quite a bit about it. It sounds like your child's Dr. is doing the right and smart thing using the small doses of the drug, as it is very potent. It may take awhile for some of the changes in the brain to take place until the tics are under control. So he may hold at that dose for awhile. The reason the med is used is because I think it is one of very few that can control tics. But, there are a couple of other meds too if this one doesn't work.
Keep us posted...
Best,
Jay
