Hours of sleep on clozapine

Medications
1

Hi!!,

I am trying out clozapine and it seems to make me want to sleep in a bit. I have never been a morning person to begin with. I usually sleep 12 hours a day but a couple times I was able to wake earlier for work.

Does anyone here who has been taking clozapine for a while know if the amount of sleep it induces decreases over time? I think I heard that the sedation decreases as you get used to it but does the amount that you sleep on it decrease also?

Thanks for any replies.

You will get more used to it over time.

I didnt have any sleep issues on clozapine until i stopped taking it lol.

What dose are you on ?

I was on 200mg for a couple months and they just increased it to 250mg. I’m don’t mind the clozapine other than sleeping a couple extra hours.

Ya probs stick it out and see if thats your only concern. Your body might just need some adjustment to it
