Sun - The drowsiness will begin to fade in another week or two. Unfortunately, the carbohydrate cravings do not ease that much. It might be wise to ask your son's doc for information on nutrition or ask him if he thinks a dietician (dietary consultant? ..... what's PC for "if this jerk expects me to only eat carrots and celery, they're nuts").

Clozaril™ (clozapine) is by far the best "mood modifier" that we have; nothing else works better, nothing. This powerful drug also has powerful side effects; even one that necessitates weekly blood tests. This side effect is called agranulocyctosis, a blood disorder that is treatable if caught early, hence the reason for frequent blood tests. It is very, very rare for someone in the Western world to get agranulocytosis from Clozaril.

I hope that I have answered your questions. - Cam
