I had a hard time sleeping when I quit clozapine. That’s why I still take a small dose. I hope that you can find a pdoc that values shared decision making.

It’s unfortunately not up to you. Do as your Dr tells you.

My schizophrenia is very mild when I’m on meds. It becomes anything but mild when I stop taking my meds. Sounds like the Clozapine is working for you.

I didn’t have anything othee than paranoia

Your symptoms are obviously severe enough that you keep getting formally admitted to a psych ward. That means you need the meds.
