Haldol® (haloperidol) is not a medication that is addicting or likely to be abused. As with most medicines for mental illnesses, however, the brain may need some time to adjust when you stop taking such medications.
 
If you stop treatment too abruptly, you may develop withdrawal from Haldol. Withdrawal symptoms may include unusual body movements, delusions, hallucinations, or other psychotic symptoms. Your healthcare provider may decide to wean you off Haldol slowly to avoid severe withdrawal symptoms.
