The doc said it would help with my delusions, but it was a pain because of the blood tests. He told me it would make me more tired and I would drool. He would take me off of Latuda though, which I love Latuda 
. He would keep me on Risperidone, which I want to get off of .
Ultimately I turned it down but I can always add it in the future.
Drooling…ah, that sounds like fun. Are you ok cuz you don’t seem anxious
Blood tests starts once a week for 6 weeks, then every other week for 6 weeks, then once a month. They are a pain but it has helped me
I don’t feel very anxious. Nobody has ever told me that.
Thanks @GrayBear how long does it take till it’s once a month. I’ve only ever seen people go every 2 weeks.
i was lucky my ex stopped the drs from giving it to me, i said to her if they try to put me on it to please tell them i didnt want it bc of the blood thing.
Every other week for 6 weeks than once a month
I had a roommate who got blood tests every 2 weeks because of Clozapine for 2 years.
My Dr said it’ll be every two weeks for probably about another 6 months and then once a month forever
I go once a week for 6 months. It’s torture I despise it with a passion im talking bout clozapine
Another thing to keep in mind is they are hard to get off of.
What do you despise about Clozapine most @reignoverme
Yeah my pdoc tried to put me on clozaril. I said hell no so he added mgs to the latuda. Dealing with haldol 1mg which some folks here think is no too low.
Yeah you seem to be doing very well @roxanna.
I’m sick and need to be put in a ward
Oh if I felt that way I think I would have tried Clozapine.
I can’t go til my rent is paid. Then I can go
I hope you feel better @roxanna. Maybe there is stuff you can do instead of being locked up.
I could try. Probably go to bed early.
I go to bed at 5 pm. I’m not sure how much of a factor it is in my mental health. I just enjoy doing it.
