I dont mean to scare you, but make sure you're monitored CAREFULLY on haldol+lithium..that particular combo has killed some patients. If your doc isn't going to work with you, you may want to get a new one...if he's pushing Haldol on you, then you may NEED a new one, b/c Haldol sucks.
Lithium can help with psychosis. Adding in depakote, trileptal, tegretol might help. You dont necessarily **need** an antipsychotic, especially if its just paranoia w/o any other signs of florid psychosis.
