What is so bad about clozapine?

No it’s not lol.

It’s suppose to be the gold standard for Sz,
I took it for 8months and it made be feel a crazy amount of sedation, I gained 80 pounds, and caused me to drool, it stabilized me though.
The side effects where just to bad so stopped taking it.

APs work different for everyone so it might work for you, just have to deal with getting blood test for it.

I would like to say - I would only go on clozapine as a last resort.

Its my final fallback drug of choice. Not just cos its a heavy drug, cos it is, i just wanna know i wont be completley fcked if the others stop working.

Im lucky and always responded well to meds, but in the back of my mind - it does scare me, if i wake up one day and no pills gonna take the voices away.

I’ve never been on Clozaril, luckily, even though I’ve been treatment resistant my whole life. I’ve always refused it.
