Two days in. I hope it goes away.

I had low magnesium.

The drowsiness is a really bad side effect. Hope clozaril is working for you @roxanna

Do you take them at night? You will fall asleep in no time on these meds.

Take a deep breath when you feel like fainting or more than one, but don’t hold it.

@roxanna, When you say you “passed out”, do you mean you fainted or fell asleep?

Unconscious. I had to lie down a lot.

No. Same old shiit. I haven’t fainted today.

14

That’s a really low dose I’m on 500mg. Very tired in morning

I didn’t pass out today. Yeah you’re on a high dose. I didn’t know that clozaril went up that high in mg. Im med sensitive.

Are you still on clozapine? If so what symptoms has it helped you with?

Just started taking it myself, I notice a bit of dizziness when standing up quickly.

yea its called orthostasis(postural hypotension). You may get tolerance to this side effect eventually. If not, then you may have to decrease the dose.
