Haldol For Depression?

My friend was prescribed Haldol for depression. My friend suffers from being addicted to Perocets, and because he was going through withdraw stated that he wanted to kill himself. I know that he did not mean it, I believe it was the withdrawal. Could you help me. Is this drug the answer.

The best thing your friend could do would be to inform his doctor of everything you've just said, that way a proper treatment plan can be undertaken.

Haldol is most commonly used to treat psychotic episodes, and the FDA warns that it is very potent, and may cause side effects, such as sedation, nausea, headache, blurred vision, and mood changes.

Are these the only medications he is currently taking?
