User Reviews for clozapine oral

very calming

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. Read More Read Less

My daughter was placed on Clozaril (Clozapine) 3 or 4 years ago and has done extremely well on this medication. She had been on everything else and this is the 1st time a med has worked for her. Both of us are very happy with this medication. High praises from both of us.

stay come

it work great the best i ever had

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-

My 42 yr old son had paronoid bipolar and was on clozapine for l6 days. He wasn't even suicicidal. He died on the l6th day of being on clozapine. He died of a heart attack. I say take this horrible drug off the market. It kills people. He was healthy before he started taking clozapine. I blame the doctor for putting him on it when he wasn't even suicidal. There were other drugs he could have put him on. Now we lost out beautiful 42 yr old son.

Best drug on the market for killing anxiety!!! Been on for more than 3 years.

I have been taken high dosage of this medication for 6 yrs now. It has helped but still periodically suffer setbacks. Mostly obsessing and depression but have recently been given medications for those conditions.

Nothing worked for my daughter except this. She has been on this medication for 4 years, blood draws are only once every month now. This has been the best medication and she has tried them all!

I suffer from Bi-Polar disorder. This medication helps me sleep which is great. The affects are blurred vision, tremors, increased saliva, tongue movements, dizziness and tiredness. The blood test are a pain but worth it despite the affects.

This medication has been a possitive experience for my patient. He no longer has hellucinations. This has given him a better life.

Tried all other antipsychotics and Clozapine has been superior. Found that using Clozapine with Haldol (or other antipsychotic) is not a good idea. Clozapine alone, is best. Give it at least 6-9 months and don't be afraid to go up on dosage if all testing indicates ok to do so.

our son was doing terrible with all other meds but this one really helped him so very much. thank you

So far so good.Weekly bloodwork a hassle.

My Dr. prescribed this for me because I have anxiety. The only real problem I had was the dosage. This pill comes in a 50mg tab and I cut it to 25mg and I was still dizy so I cut that in 1/2 so 12.5 mgs and now I'm very good. So I've had a positive experience except of course when I first wake up in the morning it's slow going.

it has made the voices quieter and less threatening than they were.
