My mom was put on haldol for her dementia by hospice. She had horrible sundowning, which after being on haldol, doesn’t have. My mom seems drugged, almost high looking...very restless, up and down. I’ve read a lot of reviews, good and bad. I trust hospice, just unsure. My mom is 92. She was on seroquel which did not help at all.
Thank you !
I would continue to communicate with Hospice and with current prescribing doctor.
Have you checked out the side effects by researching Haldol online? I can understand it for hospice, especially if the patient is quite restless and distressed. But for me personally, I abhor drugs and would fight it.
Have you raised the issue with the hospice staff - DON or the attending physician?
