[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 541865, member: 3493"] My then boyfriend was put on Haldol when his bipolar first manifested back in the late 70's. He became very sleepy and was developing signs of tardive dyskinesia so he was moved to Lithium, which worked very well for him with no side effects. Recently, the doctor prescribed a dose one tenth of an adult dose for my 90 year old aunt to treat her anxiety as I wanted her off Xanax. The Haldol made her very tired, even at that low dose. The neuro doctor changed her to Lexapro and it has been a godsend, though I don't know how effective it would be for BiPolar (BP). My aunt has some depression. Good luck with your grandson. I hope he gets the right medications. When the medications are right, life can be good for the person and their family. [/QUOTE]
