Haldol also used to be a drug of choice for schizophrenia. It can have bad side effects like making a patient’s hands go straight up in the air and then the arms stay fixed in that position.

I remember when “60 Minutes” did a story on the bad side effects of Haldol, at least 30 years ago. It was an alarming because my sister has schizophrenia(“disorganized schizophrenia,” not paranoid) and she was taking Haldol. I told my mom about this and my parents had her psychiatrist wean her off Haldol and put her on a different drug.
