AoA.
1. Considering your background and use of haloperidol, I will advise you to seek specialist help immediately.
2. Catatonia is a severe side effect and you do not seem to show it's symptoms. Some degree of movement disorders to occur with haloperidol, however if your specialist feels this is best for you, you should take it. Tell them of the movement disorder and they will very likely change the dose or give you an alternative.
3. While there are many options, it might be appropriate to get a physical appointment with a colleague in psychiatry. They will certainly give you appropriate advice.
