If you’re thinking about taking clozapine!! Think again! It is the most destructive brain altering drug known to man! There is no way of getting off it without major relapse! FACT It should never be a last resort med!!! If you want to end some ones life put them on this med!

This medicine has worked wonders for me. I've tried pretty much all of the schizophrenia medicines. And this one is the best. It has stopped hallucinations, delusions, everything. The only thing i don't like about it is how much it makes me sleep. I've went from about 8 hrs a night to 12. Its still worth it though.

I love him but he hated me when he got sick. He and I now live together and his life is so good. ... Show Full Comment

I am the younger brother and legal guardian to a 55 year old femal that has been on this treatment (colzapine) for approximately 20 years and we are finding that there are many problems after prolonged use of this medication. The reason that this treatment was sought was because the alternitive tretments were so devistateing to her general health and mental behavior. The alternitive medications were stelzine, thorzine, and heldol. Currently she is recieving 500 mg per day of clozapine along with other medications but as of the last 6 months she has been experianceing total regression of her illness, in other words she now is worse than she's been in the past 15 years. I would like to find a alternitive to clozapine. I would like to try a medication that was designed for a female if at all possible. She has been hospitalized 4 times in the last 6 months and I'm running out of options. Any sugestions would be greatly appretiated.

I was on 3 other types of antipsychotics before trying clozapine, it has definetly made a huge difference but the effectiveness is starting to wear off after 4 years on this medicine-
