For example, a 12-week study of 50 adolescent inpatients at two mental health centers in the Tel Aviv area examined weight gain between olanzapine, risperidone, and haloperidol (
Haldol) and found statistically significant weight gain over baseline with both olanzapine and risperidone.
Mellaril,
Haldol, Navane, Prolixin, Stelazine, Moban, Serentil, Loxitane, Thorazine and Taractan, should NOT be used at all in nursing home patients unless, according to OBRA '90, the patient has an indication from the following:
There are three depot antipsychotics currently on the market--fluphenazine, haloperidol (

The same group also found that among 829 schizophrenic Medicaid patients who developed new-onset diabetes while on antipsychotic monotherapy, mean monthly direct medical costs in the first 3 months following the diabetes diagnosis jumped from $1,531 to $1,643 for those on clozapine monotherapy, $2,170 to $2,591 for olanzapine, $2,104 to $2,304 for risperidone, and $1,550 to $2,173 for haloperidol (
Haldol).
Similarly, we found some patients doing better on thioridazine Mellaril) than on haloperidol (
Haldol), even though many authorities prefer Haidol in the elderly.
Revised labeling on the drug, which is marketed as
Haldol,
Haldol decanoate, and
Haldol lactate, includes a cardiovascular subsection that explains the increased risk for prolonging the QT interval.
These data suggest that there is no increased risk of congenital malformations associated with first-trimester exposure to high-potency antipsychotics such as haloperidol (
Haldol) or midpotency antipsychotics such as perphenazine (Trilafon).
