I think I’ve been on it for 4 months. Only 2 more months to go to have less frequent blood tests. It’s good stuff.

Yeah the bloods are the only nuisance to begin with. But like you say they get less often as time goes on.
You stopped the respirdal consta now?

I stopped taking Risperdal Consta about a month ago. I should notice the withdrawals late March or early April. Or maybe the Clozapine will just be stronger, which I hope is the case.

I reckon it will be smooth sailing. Clozapine is a great med - it’s more than able to pick up where the respiridone left off

How much is limited caffeine? 2-3 cups a day? They limit our coffee in the morning at my day program I went yesterday and we were limited to 2 cups each. But they can’t stop us from buying more coffee at a coffee shop next door lol

I drink 6 oz a day, which is about half a mug.

I’m glad you’re doing better. I no longer drink caffeinated drinks, but I do drink decaf. I don’t need coffee, I just like the taste of it. Especially when it’s cold out. Good luck!

@Ninjastar I accidentally had one coffee too much and feel bad again. I think you put your finger on my problem in the mornings. Thank you!

Oh I feel better now thanks. Might try avoiding coffee altogether and just drink tea.
