Punkybrewster,

I saw your comments about your daughter. Have you thought about home schooling. Are you working , is there another bread winner. It is doubtful that she will remain on clozaril for the rest of her life. Most will cycle between different meds as the med usually presents side effects whereby its then necessary to move on to another med. I think clozaril could be a good med to establish a more sensible view on the illness. I think with these meds if a person has time and the sense and the space . They will begin to see how the meds start to positively effect symptoms. But a person needs a certain amount of intellect to spot how the symptoms are improving. Im not sayn your daughter is without intellect, but she is still developing , and i think it would be lost on her. If she was in her 20's then i would say give it a try, but a person needs to get the maximum benefit of the med in the shortest time period because , from what i can see , side effects will eventually take their tole and they will move on to another med.
