haloperidol as an antiemetic?

[134340]

Hi friends, I've been browsing all the SN and antiemetic threads on here but haven't found much of anything on haloperidol (Haldol). I just ordered my SN today. I know meto is preferred, but I'm really not in a position to be spending money (and I won't be in the foreseeable future), so I'm wondering if a low dose of haldol will do the trick, or at least help a little bit? It's a dopamine antagonist and is sometimes used in emergency care when other popular antiemetics (meto, promethazine, and ondensatron are used as examples in the link I provided) don't work. I know you can successfully ctb without an antiemetic at all, but I have a sensitive stomach in general so I'd rather not risk it. Plus, I'm already prescribed haldol, so it's no fuss.

I'm asking because I know a lot of you are smarter than me and I appreciate any input you may have for me

Also, here is the link that talks about haldol being used after other antiemetics didn't work (you'll have to scroll down to the "results" section). It's talking about cases of cannabinoid hyperemesis, but I assume that puking is puking? (I don't really know actually)

There was a member of this forum that used 400mg of quetiapine before SN. Seems a good option.
