according to mad in america, the dosage of haldol used as control was 20mgs! Of course this caused LOTS of problems. Haldol has a terrible reputation...I've been doing research on drug treatment of mental illness, and one thing I found utterly disgusting were the deaths of children as young as 5 from neuroleptic malignancy syndrome caused by massive doses of haldol...what's probably worse is the chillingly cold and callous way its all recorded. Also, an experimental combo of lithium and haldol caused irreversible brain damage in subjects in a couple studies...rough stuff.
