When I was on 200 mg of clozapine I slept 16 hours a day and had tachycardia.

Now I just take 25 mg and I sleep 12 hours and don’t have tachycardia. In addition I take 12 mg Invega as the clozapine is below the therapeutic dose.

Gave me tachycardia and severe weakness and made me sleep my life away. I wouldn’t go on that drug again.

I have been on clozapine for 14 years. It’s a love and hate thing. I love the way it calms me down and makes me see situation in a more rational way. I hate the thing that it sedates me. I have to sleep very long and have bad memory.
