You're kidding, right?

People in US nursing homes have been "prescribing" Haldol and other drugs far worse than Xanex for decades. Ten years ago, we had to bring a suit to have my nearly 100 year old aunt removed from a nursing home that repeatedly prescribed antipsychotic medications -- including Haldol -- over our objections and despite the fact that she had no history of either dementia or psychotic illness.

She was a feisty old lady, who developed a reputation with the staff for being "difficult." So they started drugging her. Every time we reviewed her medication, we discovered they were giving her antipsychotic meds. Every time we objected, they temporarily took her off the regimen, only to resume "treatment" when they thought we weren't paying attention. This practice is not uncommon. They want the folks under their care to be docile and easily led, and many of them have no relatives, or social workers, or even health care professionals who will advocate on their behalves.
