Yes and no
Clozapine is good but I cannot have high dose because "risk of fits"
I am a more well balanced person on clozapine

It’s a powerful antipsychotic and is usually used when other type medications do not give the desired results. Monitoring of the blood count is needed to make sure it is not affecting the blood cells mainly the white count. Some reported side-effects are seizures, myocarditis, agranulocytosis, diabetes and weight gain.
