Has anyone ever been on Clozapine before?
Clozapine is for treatment-resistant schizophrenia.

I have been on it. Its horrible.
- couldn't walk very far.
- couldn't run (I am a club-level cross-country runner so that was horrible).
- drooled all over myself at night.
- gastrointestinal disturbances.
- lost 3kg in 2 weeks (not good for me as I'm already borderline underweight).
- stiff all over.
- lost most of my immunity.
- blurred vision.
- zombified.
- SLEPT 14 HOURS A DAY! I HATE HATE HATE SLEEPING AS IT IS.
- twitches.

And guess what...it didn't do much for the psychotic symptoms.

Has anyone else taken Clozapine and has anything to share?

	PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student. I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out. I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included. Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
