Hi, wardaddy: Drugs can act sometimes differently for differently people.
My Grandfather was in his 80’s and had moved in with my parents after my Grandmother died and he couldn't take of himself anymore.
My Mother told his doctor (doctor specializing in elder patients) my Grandfather was always in to something, had set a fire with the stove, all kinds of things.
So, the doctor prescribed haladol (sic?) to calm him down so my Mother could take care of him without going nuts.
The day after he started haladol, he split logs in the backyard so the wood would be ready for winter. This was in the summertime. He split logs all day long.
I think they changed his prescription. Haladol should have leveled him out but it just made him more agitated than before.
Just weirdness....
you’re right
i have seen haloperidol used on schizophrenic patients cause sweats, muscle twitching and unbridled energy bursts...pacing and enormous coffee drinking
it has strong idiosyncratic features in some
like the way some narcotics give some folks a lot of energy or the stimulant ritalin actually slows down pre adults
Haldol is a serious medication, a favorite of the old Soviet gulag to sedate prisoners
our anti psychotic dope leaves a lot to be desired
