Just wanting to know others experiences on cloz at the start. Yesterday and the day before I was on the verge of throwing up all day. They had to keep giving me anti-nausea meds. I was sweating like crazy my pulse was high. I had no energy. I am only on day 6 or 7 and I’m at 150mg so far. I feel ok today but, does it get better? Do you just have to stick In there and it gets better on the other side?

Clozapine supposed to sedate you.
My first stay, I was drooling and sleeping all day on 75mg…
I don’t know, maybe highest I’ve taken is 200mg…
I took it for a week on the dot. I couldn’t tolerate clozapine. It made me sick and felt like throwing up. There’s alternatives to clozapine I went back on something I’ve taken before. Don’t give up hugs
I’ve been on clozapine almost a year. It makes me sleep 11-12 hours a day, I have to use atropine drops before bed each night cuz if I don’t the clozapine-induced drooling either wakes me up running down my face or I choke on the spit, and I want to eat constantly…BUT I’ve gone from hearing 4 voices to only 1, and my suicidal ideation and self harm urges have really gone down. It’s nice to not be thinking constantly about ways to hurt myself. I was on risperidone a few years ago and it gave me full-body itching so they cut it. Clozapine works best for me but it isn’t perfect, none of the neuroleptics are.
