[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 223705, member: 1550"] I've seen too many people on Haldal who were virtual zombies (when I was in phospital the first time many years ago) to put my kid on it. That doesn't mean it won't help your kids, but I wouldn't do it. There are more modern antipsychotics that don't cause as many side effects. I would watch carefully for pacing or tongue portruding or muscle spasming. I'm surprised the doctor is using this--it is sort of an older drug. Ativan is habit forming. That's another one I wouldn't give a young child. I take benzos--I have to--but I would hold off on giving them to a kid. There are other medications for anxiety. Plus your child is already on three medications. How do YOU feel about all this? What does your gut tell you? [/QUOTE]
