Is it allowed to take Haloperidol during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

It is excreted into breast milk in quite variable amounts that may be clinically significant, however, no clinical or developmental issues have been observed in infants whose mothers were treated with this drug. In two out of four infants whose mothers took haloperidol and chlorpromazine simultaneously, showed decreased development scores between 12 and 18 months (Yoshida 1998).On the other hand, no long-term developmental problems were observed in breastfed infants up to 12 months while the mother was taking Haloperidol and Olanzapine or Haloperidol and Amisulpride (Uguz 2015). Haloperidol may induced an increase in prolactin release and can cause galactorrhea.

Haldol is a miracle drug. I take it for schizoaffective disorder so it works for schizophrenia, bipolar, and anxiety. I thought I was the savior of planet earth. I saw snipers and other gun men follow me. I also heard the CIA talk to me through a tiny microphone in my coat. Folks I was completely out of my mind thinking that the government could read my thoughts. Then the radio discussed what was on my mind. After being taken to the mental ward by the police which intercepted me on my way to the CIA they gave me haldol. Like magic the tv and radio stoped talking to me. There were no more voices and thank GOD no more gun men hallucinations. So for the cons. Restlessness was the main side effect. I deal with this by walking around town or pacing. This drug does not make you lazy and I would recommend this for anyone hearing voices and seeing things.I took risperdone for a couple weeks because of the restless side effects from haldol. Risperdone gave this other guy I know boobs and it makes you fat. Worse than that the tv and radio started sending me messages again. Risperdone did not work at all for me. I take 10mg haldol. 1200mg lithium (control mania). 120mg inderal (restlessness of haldol/blood pressure) 2mg artane for other side effects of haldol. I do not feel high or in a stoop-er. I feel normal.
