In 1993 I was mistakenly diagnosed with a "mild psychosis" by a team of doctors at a city university hospital. I was in good health, physically. My only complaint was that I often felt scattered, and edgy. I self-admitted and, after about four days of evaluation, it was decided that I had a huge intelligence that was making me appear normal to the outside world but was in fact masking my "psychosis." I was immediately started on the drug, Haldol and, two days later, I was released. In very little time, I felt worse than I have even felt in my life: My world became colorless, flattened, two dimensional. I was cut off from my feelings. I begged the head of psychiatry, my therapist's therapist, to take me off this drug. I knew it was cause for this disconnection. He insisted I give it time to work. I felt as though I was walking around dead, and I was the only one who noticed it. Finally, because this disconnection was worse to me than death itself, I tried to take my own life. At the last minute, I called a friend, and she called the ambulance. I was released two days later. I called my therapist and told her I was going off the drug, no matter what. She gave me directions on doing it slowly. I was placed on anti-depressants and, after another year, I finally felt normal. I lost a year and a half of my life due to this misdiagnoses. A few years ago, I read an article stating that if Haldol is given incorrectly it can actually cause clinical depression. In early 2007, I was rushed to the ER because I was unable to breathe. I had been experiencing pain for over a year but, because I did not have insurance at the time, my doctor did not run a battery of tests. She did send me for an x-ray and an ultrasound, but these found nothing. An ER doc guessed that I might have a pulmonary embolism. In fact, I had "many." I was told that, had I waited much longer, I probably would have died. I was put on 7mg of warfarin and told I'd probably be on it for life
