Clozapine, my worries.

[ChrisC]

I have extreme worries about the side effect profile of this drug. I'm taking 25mg a small dose I know. But before you all jump on the band wagon. I have contacted my psychiatrist about my concerns and he said in all his 14 years of practicing he has never had problems from this drug.

Am I being paranoid again? I'm on my third day of taking it. Also he has prescribed benzo's with it and Clozapine is not supposed to mix well with them.

Well the possible side effects look pretty horrendous. Are you having your blood monitored on a weekly basis to check for low white blood cell count? I guess the question you should ask yourself is whether you feel you need to take this drug and what are the effects if you don't. Good luck.

I do not have any knowledge of this particular drug, but I do know that even very rare side effects are listed. I can only suggest careful self monitoring, to see if it works for you.

I hope everything goes well.
