use of haldol in elderly does anyone know of research done on the use of haldol in the elderly does short term use of the drug ever produce long term side effects after the use of the drug my grandmother recently had to be hospitalized and was given large doses of haldol for several weeks although the drug has been terminated she has changed from a perky slightly senile woman into a virtual vegetable who does not talk to anyone and who cannot even eat or brush her teeth without assistance it seems incredible to me that such changes could take place in the course of just one and one half months i have to believe that the combination of the hospital stay and some drug s are in part catalysts for this any comments will estes internet westes netcom com
