I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic, but it turned my aunt into a zombie at a very low dose.

Haldol on the other hand is not mild. In addition, the article states it's being used in these cases in doses higher than the usual limit for treating patients who actually have the conditions it's indicated for.

Regardless of the efficacy or "harmlessness" of the drugs (something I'm far from convinced of), it's wrong to focibly inject someone with anti-psychotic drugs against their will.
