I’m on clozapine 325 I was ok on it but last two years or more became unwell with lot’s positive symptoms. Now they have added lamotrigine and positive symptoms are less
With clozapine they can’t increase the dose because of risk of fits. I get a good sleep though

Yes. The only things I don’t like are the blood tests and drooling at night while sleeping. :robot::robot::robot:

I took clozapine for a week. I wasn’t able to notice any positives because it caused me to faint a lot. I don’t think it’s a bad med. It’s not for everyone.

I just started clozapine recently. I have some improvement, although it has only been two weeks.

i am on clozapine (225mg a day) and it really helps me a lot. but i have to take it in combination with risperdal consta. So far my positive symptoms have become a lot more manageable.

I quit my 25 mg of clozapine 2 days ago. It wasn’t working anymore anyway. I was awake most of the nights.

My voices haven’t been louder. I’m very happy with that and hoping it lasts.

I’m on clozapine 300 mg. It helps me with my voices but even more helps with the suicidal ideation. It’s given me tachycardia and I want to sleep a lot on it. I also used to drool but fixed that with sublingual atropine drops.

It is the best medicine for positive symptoms so far.

I take it just for sleep. So far is working.

I’m still feeling alright. Hoping that it’s a turning point.
