For Nausea/Vomiting "Was given this in the ER for nausea. It killed the nausea, sure, but I was so anxious! I felt as though if I stayed in that hospital bed another second, I was going to go crazy. When I was released, I raced home and took Xanax to try and combat the anxiety. It's been about 26 hours since I was injected, and I still have the urge to move and run around, like restless leg syndrome. I'd rather just be nauseous!"

For Mania "I took this once 4 years ago, NEVER took it ever again because I had the worst side effects ever. I was on vacation at the time and I took it because of my manic episodes. I felt so sleepy yet so restless in my legs and extremely panicky. I had the worst panic attack in my life, screaming my head off at the uncomfortableness in my legs, squirming around like crazy in bed and pacing back and forth. Finally, I took a bath and I realized my eyes were yellow! I almost fell to the floor, but I made it to the bed and I slept from 7 pm to 12 pm the next day, and even then I was still a zombie. Later that day, the side effects wore off and I was able to enjoy my vacation again. Now I'm on a different medication. NEVER AGAIN will I take Haldol because it messed me up."

"I was given this in the ER for stomach pain. Right after, I was sent home. I could barely walk as they watched me leave. Soon as I got home, I started feeling weird, couldn't walk or stand. I had bad anxiety, and I felt really dizzy, and I felt like I was going crazy. Then started the restless legs on top of already having RLS. I ended up back in the ER. My reaction was so severe I ended up in the hospital for a week. This drug needs to be removed from ER use."
