I just noticed that when I lowered clozapine I had insomnia for a couple of months.
How much are you on now?
I’m down to 125mg now
Probably gonna go lower, and hopefully I can get off it
Pdoc is thinking to introduce Vraylar
The most I’ve been on is 400 mg.
Now I take 25 mg (next to 12 mg Invega)
Nice few years back I was as high as 450mg
My I ask why you still take 25mg?
That’s like the tiniest dose…
Clozaril unfortunately gave me tachycardia, but at least it stopped the positives for 10+ years now
It’s for sleep. Like some people take low dose seroquel.
I wake every 1 to 2 hours at night and when I take clozapine I fall back easier to sleep at night.
And when I was on higher doses of clozapine I also had tachycardia. That’s one of the main reasons it was decided to lower it.
Did you try something else for sleeping, except clozapine?
I have the same insomnia if I try to get it off.
I kinda feel clozapine working on my frontal lobe. After I take it everything is light, no stress, but I also postpone any goal I had for the day…that is one main reason why I would take it off… and constipation.
Does the small dosage make you hungry @TheFountainPen ?
I have tried seroquel for sleep but it did nothing for me.
I’m very sensitive to clozapine as a sleeping aid.
I think the Invega is boosting my appetite more than the clozapine. But it’s not the same as before APs.
Me.too. it almost scares me. I take very little but it’s effects are amazing.
