I am currently taking Clozaril and it works very well for me. I am on 325mg per day.

I take Clozaril for two purposes. I take it to treat psychosis and manic depression.

It works very well for me in both aspects. I no longer have hallucinations, paranoia, and I also don't get manic symptoms, such as racing thoughts, lack of sleep, pressured speech.

You have to titrate slowly to reduce the risk of certain side effects. I was started on 25mg and was increased every week until I got to 300mg.

Be prepared to do blood work on a regular basis. The blood work is to check your white blood cells (ensuring they don't get too low).

The only side effects I get (that could be attributed to the med) are sedation and dry mouth. This medication can cause drooling, which I've heard you can take Cogentin to help treat it.

I hope this helps. I wish you the best with your treatment.
