Reviews for Haloperidol to treat ICU Agitation

Review by Anonymous:

Haldol (haloperidol): My father (now deceased) had a tendency to become agitated when confined to ICU for more than a couple of days. He was prescribed Haldol during one such stay. The medicine had a very negative effect; my father became aggressive. One morning I walked in to find that the staff had strapped his hands to the bed overnight! I complained (loudly) to another doctor and my father was taken off Haldol and moved to a private room. Almost immediately he became the sweet, even-tempered man that I always knew. I tried to keep my dad out of ICU after that.

Haldol (haloperidol): Helps with anxiety and racing thoughts. Calms my mood down when angry and upset. Side effect is weight gain and being tired.
