Haloperidol can cause problem with muscl

2023-08-05 13:40:02
Can Haloperidol cause problems with Muscle stiffness? I am on the medication for general anxiety disorder and a doctor prescribed me paroxetine, Clonazepam and Haloperidol. I am having confusion and lack of concentration and i tried consulting the other neurologist, he suggested that Haloperidol is not supposed to be given at this early stage of the anxiety, it is the last line of defense medication for the anxiety related stuff.
