I think you should avoid the haldol+lithium combo...this combo has caused serious problems in some patients. Can you switch shrinks? The risk w/ combining lithium and antipsychotic, especially haldol, is *not to be ignored*.
Anyway...I dont know what dose of valium you're on but..can you up it? Loxapine and moban would be my first pics for typical antipsychotics; after that, perphenazine and after that Mellaril, if your heart is OK. You might even want to try amoxapine..its like loxapine+an AD all in one.
Do see about another doctor.
