Question:
I'm confused. You wrote on your website
that generic Haldol doesn't work. My
doctor told me he'd give me it but they
said at the drug store that I can't get it.
They said I can only get generic. What
should I do?
Dr. Heller's Answer:
Brand name Haldol (haloperidol) was
significantly better than generic, however
it's no longer manufactured. I used to
prescribe 0.5mg of the brand name. Now
that the brand name isn't available I've
discovered that 2mg of the generic
haloperidol works approximately the same as
0.5mg of the brand name Haldol. Some
patients do well with lower doses. The
problem with the higher generic dose is
that more patients experience dystonic
reactions where the muscles (particularly
of the jaw) tense up and spasm. Benadryl
(diphenhydramine) usually stops and/or
prevents these episodes, Cogentin
(benztropine) is an alternative.
