Clozapine advice needed urgently!

I used to walk but I discovered that I needed something more aggressive like running

Did running easen your restlessness? And do you ever try amytriptyline? It’s anti depressant that can knock you out too, but dry mouth is the problem.

Sorry what I meant to say was that, I was too tried to run. The medication made me too tired to do anything

Damn I feel you bro, how old are you? I am 37,I don’t think I am gonna having marriage. Even I have PTSD about it.

I am 32, I will be 33 this year. Do you too have the zombified feeling with clozapine and does it make you wet the bed?

I’m used to feeling like a zombie now

I wouldn’t say zombies but a little tired

Has the tiredness improved with time?

The tiredness is manageable
I go to bed at 7 pm take 200 clozapine at 6 pm
I set my alarm for 5.15 am. I like to get up early then I do lots of walking then go to volunteer job and by the time I am home at lunch time I collapse on the sofa eat and watch ta and catch up with my pen pal of five years who lives in birmingham
That’s basically my life

Do you take a dose in the morning?

I take 125 in the morning and that doesn’t make me too tired

But it makes you tired? Even if only a little? When you wake up, are you still under the influence of the dosage taken in the evening?

No I feel ok when I wake up I am ready to go
By the time I get home I’m tired

Hmmm… I am still unsure :neutral_face:

Are you on any medication now?

Since the breakdown I have been on 4 medications. After several months without medication the symptoms emerged and I was given Quietapine, which I took for 3-4 weeks. I stopped as I became psychotic and my speech and cognitive functions became delayed

Sounds like you and I have different symptoms
Do you ever get the feeling of being watched

Yes all the time (Survailled) and being followed

I don’t get it all the time on average once a week but when I do get it is very intense and upsetting I worry about when it will come on again I’ve never got rid entirely of it
I thought increase in clozapine might make me feel better but they talk about risk of fits
I don’t know clozapine might be successful in your case

That is what my illness is. The paranoia, the belief that I am being watched, survailled and followed. I am no longer hearing voices. This is everyday, every moment of the day. Nonetheless, it is not as bad as last time.

So if clozapine does not work, I would have taken the medication at my expense in vain… :pensive:
