Help sourcing Haloperidol (Haldol)

[Kingsmountain]

I will have to politely disagree with you there, friend. Depending on what state you live, having ANY prescription drug in pocket without the original prescription bottle or copy of the prescription, can be a violation of State law.

Just be careful carrying those 60 dick pills, depending on where u live. Lol.

Well, I guess everyone's mileage may vary. However, to my knowledge non controlled substances that require prescription is only illegal if they can prove intent to distribute. Possesion alone of a non controlled substance is like being in possession of an OTC substance (where i reside). And if it is a non controlled substance and they can prove intent to distribute you get hit with dispensing without a license. But as you stated laws probably vary state to state and I should add that my statement should not be construed as legal advice as I am not an attorney but do have access to a family member that is an attorney lol

Well thanks for stepping up with the apology.
You stand a lot taller in my eyes now than you did an hour ago.
I know it seems weird ... haldol is not a controlled substance but still requires a script. Kind of like Viagra. If you were stopped by LEO and had 60 viagra pills and no script, there's nothing they can cite you with because it's not a controlled substance YET you have to have a script to get it from a pharmacy.
I wish it was as simple as going to goodrx but you still have to have a script.
The problem I am fighting with the doctor is just getting him to write a script for it, I think he doesn't want the responsibility of prescribing a psych drug for a physical issue.
I have tried sublingual and even suppository Phenergan (prescribed) and it doesn't work no where near as well as the haldol / benadryl IM. I still have nausea and heavy vomiting with subs and suspositories. Sorry if that's too much information and that's kind of why I didn't just lay it all out on the first post.
I assume the reason you bring up the zyprexa is because the similarity to haldol but once again even subs don't work that well and I have the script Phenergan for that route.
Anyhow, didn't mean to respond by writing a book and truly I do appreciate the apology gesture and trying to help with some alternative ideas.

Try reliablerx. No script needed.

No clue about IM haldol. No clue it could help with this issue at all.

Well, if you have any suggestions at all ... my ears are completely open.

Any advice especially from anyone who has experience with IBS or Chrons I'm willing to try anything that might give success ... that includes OTC or off label use

I have SIBO, ibs d, and colitis flares have occurred. Treated the SIBO, managing my food better and things have changed for the better. I'm not always in good shape but life's back on track for now.

I never had any nauseous reactions fortunately. I just stopped eating, literally had zero appetite.

Are you opposed to marijuana? If not, try edibles. My appetite goes through the roof when I get into that stuff.

Well, I am happy you were able to figure out what was going on and more importantly got it under control.

Not opposed to THC , I have tried it both edibles and inhale.
Couldn't stand the inhale, don't know how people do that on a regular basis. I had a friend that had some edibles, tried that as well ... but it doesn't work any better than the Phenergan script I have and I don't like the high feeling of THC at all. Not judging anyone at all, it's just not for me.

My main problem is nausea, diarrhea and lack of appetite but more so I know if I eat ... there's going to be consequences.

It usually leaves me eating VERY tiny meals.

I thought remicade and other biologics are the treatment these days

aside from the nausea, you pretty much stole words out of my mouth. Have you been officially diagnosed?

Hey sorry to hear about what you are going through. Have you had a colonoscopy to check and see if you have Crohn's disease or Ulcerative Colitis? If you have any GI bleeding it is typically Crohns or UC.

For the nausea have you tried Zofran either pill or sublingual? We usually use it with patients who have Crohns or UC and it is typically pretty effective. It is usually very cheap.

I have had severe Crohns disease for 8 years and it really sucks. When I first got it I went from 235 lbs to 165 lbs in a couple of months.

My main advice for things that you can do personally would be diet and sleep. For diet it is best to avoid dairy, soda, fried foods, spicy foods and that type of thing. Some foods that my doctor recommended are eggs, grilled chicken, rice. If you go on webmd or colitis sites they have lists of foods to eat and avoid. It is also important to sleep at least 8 hours per night if possible.

Some other things you can do on your own are to take Fish Oil, Vitamin D, Multivitamin.

Ultimately a lot of it comes down to medicine as natural treatments will only help so much depending on how severe the colitis inflammation is. The most important advice I could give is to find a doctor who specializes specifically in treating ulcerative colitis/Crohn's and treat it as aggressively as possible from the beginning. The longer it goes on the harder and more difficult it becomes to treat.

It can be a weird illness to talk about but I would recommend being very honest with the doctor about how bad it is so you can get it fixed as quickly as possible. Biologics such as Remicade and Entyvio are typically the most effective treatments.

Feel free to ask anything and I will try to help as much as possible. I work in gastroenterology.Sorry if that was too much info or in depth. I wasn't trying to get in your personal business I just wanted to help if I could because it can be a very devastating disease.

Let me know if you have any other questions

@ickyrica How are you feeling brother? Hope you are doing good!

Moving in the correct direction, most days are better. Couple bad days pop up here and there. Back in the gym, not eating as much as I would like but I'm eating well.

How are you doing? Well I hope.

Thanks for the info when we first met, I'm sure @Kingsmountain will benefit as well

Still trying to figure out why he's not looking at the biologics, they work very well for crohns

Some people try to figure things out on a natural level, I've had a few people stress to me not to jump into biologics immediately. Not sure if that's the deal here but it could be. Me personally, whatever gets the symptoms to go away the fastest. Fuck GI issues...

Thats good to hear! As long as it is moving in the right direction that is a good sign. Sometimes it can be frustrating because it can take a while to get better and it can really fuck up your life.

Some people respond well to smoothies or liquid calories. I don't know if you have tried that? It seems to be hit or miss. Some people I know it has allowed them to get an extra 1,000-2,000 calories each day with no extra symptoms and some people it makes them way worse.

I am doing pretty well. Thanks for asking. Wish you the best with health and training! It can be difficult to manage both at times.Especially with reduced eating.Much respect.

Sometimes people are reluctant to at first and wish to try natural methods first. They are also very expensive depending on insurance coverage.

I think for some people it just becomes unbearable to the point where you can't live a normal life so you will just do anything to feel better.

It is an individual decision for everyone and I would never want to tell someone what to do but if OP is interested I would suggest that he research them and see if it is something he might want to consider, especially if he is diagnosed with Crohns or UC. They can be very effective once you find the correct dosing and intervals for each person.

As another user mentioned if it's nausea you are combatting then you should look to Zofran (Ondasteron) over IM Benadryl etc. This is what they give cancer patients and pregnant women to deal with nausea so there really is no excuse not to. If you cannot get a prescription for this you can PM me as a respected RC site from Canada sells this in generic powder form for MUCH cheaper than the RX pill.

 

[Kingsmountain]

Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the replies during my abscence. As a matter of fact probably too many replies to try to quote so I will try to cover some ground in this post alone, if I dont specifically reply to your comment I apologize but there has been some great response from everyone here.
So, I have had blood work done, test for EPI, Scope (top and bottom) , stool sample, complete blood panel and a few others I am sure I am leaving out.
To date, the GI doc still can't figure out what is going on but says more than likely Chrons. That's HIS diagnosis, not mine.
Here are some of the script meds I have been on and some are ongoing.
1.Carafate 2 tsp b4 meals and bedtime
2.Hyoscyamine .125 mg 4x day
3. Promethazine (Phenergan) 25mg 1 tab 4 to 6 hrs
4. Cholestyramine 9 grams 2x daily
5. Librax 2 caps 3 x day
6. Ondansetron (zofran) 8mg every 8 hrs
7. Prilosec 40mg 2x day
8. Protonix 40mg 2x day
9. Dicyclomine 20mg 3x day
10. Ciprosloxacin 500mg 2x day for 7 days
11. Metronidazole 500mg 3x day for 7 days
And I am sure some I have forgotten / missed.
I literally feel like I am at my wits end.
As far as the Haldol/Benadryl I have only had it at crisis moments (admittance to ER) which usually happens 1 to 2 times a month.
It only brings it back to a manageable control when nothing else seems to work including zofran and Phenergan.
I don't really know what else to add other than I know there was one suggestion as to why wasn't I taking a particular med but like the haldol, I can't MAKE the GI doctor do anything so I guess I am stuck unless I can source it. Today's health care sucks and all I can do is what I can do.
However, I do appreciate everyone that has jumped in with sensible and mature suggestions. It's good to see there are people in this world that do care about others and to that point ... I am humbled.

As simple as it sounds, have you ever been tested for SIBO? Xifaxan is the medicine for it and you didn't list it.

I have had so many tests I can't remember. I will however ask my GI doc.
I did a stool sample so I would think that would have been covered / tested?
