Clozapine went in the trash

A ‘trend’ popped up on my facebook account tonight talking about how clozapine is proven to be effective for patients with sz 30% of the time.

First of all, I’d ask if they went to the magnetoencephalography/nimh testing to determine if they actually have Sz or not.

Second, I was forced to swallow that ■■■■, and it made me dizzy. very dizzy. and I’m angry about it because my arm was busted and it was painful to try to walk around dizzy, try to catch myself, with a busted damn arm.

Third, i read the package, says it is an immunosuppressant. well, if I have an autoimmune disorder, then the effective and correct treatment would be to supppress my immune system.

lastly, I resent being forced to swallow that ■■■■, having my arm broken, walk around dizzy, and watch resarchers try to take credit for these studies with faulty conditions.

I’ll hold to the fact that my arm was busted by a hospital employee. It seems to me because I told the nurse she had an awful haircut and I knew a salon who could fix it. But in any regard, there is no excuse for breaking my arm within the hospital.

So, after this nightmare event, I came home, threw the clozapine ■■■■ away in the garbage, laid in bed for a couple weeks,nursed my busted arm, ate my mestinon like candy. Then suddenly I felt better. Brain fixed thanks to mestinon, not clozapine.

then I was exstatic about it, called my nurse, then accused of being manic! mental health care workers -get a life!

Kind Regards Team Sz!

Thank you have a nice day.

When they gave me Clozaril it made me so dizzy I couldn’t really even stand up. I was in serious danger of doing a nose dive into the carpet. I understand your refusal to take this drug. A person can’t live like that. Tell your pdoc you want something different. Something that controls your symptoms without destroying your life.

that’s exactly right, so dizzy, i ddn’t want to try to stand up, because I’m right handed and couldn’t catch myself with my right arm.

why do these companies make this ■■■■ that’s nearly impossible to ingest? do people just sit home on the couch too dizzy to get up?

I don’t think it does that for everyone. Some people really benefit from Clozapine. You’re the first person I’ve come across who had the same problems with it that I had.

Clozapine caused me to sleep 20 hours and eat the other 4 hours each day. It gave me terrible munchies and made me tired. It was after a serious psychotic episode and they gave me a very high dose. I think it was to help heal me from my episode rather than it being a last resort for me…they had only tried zyprexa on me previously and that worked fine…

hi, i’m new here

Hi new here :smile:

do you know bob seger

Yeah that song inspired me to make this screen name lol

Had great expectations from clozapine :angry:

My doc diagnosed me as sz because I said he looked like Charlie Brown . I’m truly wandering the sea with a millstone carved to look like the world

Sorry. Lame joke
