Tonight first time clozapine, wish me luck

I didn’t know you need blood tests even after you stop Clozapine. It can affect you forever?!

@Om_Sadasiva I now think people’s artificial soul voices are real, but I may anyway join the club too at some point.

For the first 18 weeks, every week, then once a month. It’s worth it. I thought that frequent blood tests would be a problem but it’s ok

Dude, think about it seriously.
I am not sure if clozapine has kicked in.
I already am fine with zyprexa

You have a great attitude about it so it must really help you. That’s so great :slight_smile:

I think why I’m hearing souls is that because I daydream most of the time and can access that dimension that way. I get all kinds of advise and insight from people

Ok, first goal, to be sane, achieved.
Second goal to lose 20kgs. It’s not easy with all these meds.

I have dizziness these days.
Maybe it’s withdrawal from abruptly quitting haldol 50mg.or maybe the strong tranquilizer

I’m glad you decided to give Clozapine a try. You take such huge doses of the other meds, it’s worth it to try to reduce those. Even if you can’t eliminate the other drugs, you can at least work with your pdoc to try to find lower effective doses.

I suggest calorie counting as a good way to lose weight. Use an online nutrition tracker like My Fitness Pal or the one I use, Sparkpeople. Once you get your favorite foods in your favorites section, you can plan a week’s worth of meals in about ten minutes. It doesn’t take a lot of time, but it’s worth it. I’ve lost 11 pounds in 11 weeks even though I’m on Zyprexa, which is normally a big weight gain drug. It’s getting to be second nature to know how much to eat and how much is too much, but I continue to track everything to make sure I’m on target.

I got dizziness when I came off my 30 mg of Haldol. It went away after a week. Hope yours does too. Good luck with the clozapine!

I find it interesting to listening to my parents cause they have opposite opinions. I just wish to stay sane with this until I get tired of it and go for clozapine

Thank you, my friend. Good ideas.
Some years ago, I lost 40 kgs, alone, without any help or application.

Don’t give in, bro. Move on. I know how charming psychosis can be, but sanity is better. Haha

I know I’ll probably lose my marbles If I’d go too far with this daydreaming stuff like Tesla did.
