Isn’t that the drug of last resort? I heard you have to get constant blood tests for as long as you are on it. That is kind of a pain in the butt but I hope it works out for both of you.

Didnt sleep, gonna take it on day. Its energizing.

You should give it at least 10 weeks. Some meds take months to have a noticeable effect

I have been on clozaril for over 10 years, it is the only medication that worked for me, i was a treatment resistant schizophrenic, side effects are tough but stick with it, it was about a year or so when things improved! Best of luck!

Gonna take after a light meal tomorrow.

Clozapine takes quite awhile to help and is so slowly titrated that makes it even take longer.

I have a friend who is on Clozapine and has taken it for 8 years. He has improved so much and has almost no symptoms now. He is doing sports and that’s the reason why he is slim.
