I think they usually have you start clozaril IP from what I've read. I have to because I have to come off of Seroquel but I think it's pretty common to start it in the hospital where they can do lots of labs and monitoring. I'm sure it's an individual dr thing but as I said, I mostly have read about people starting it IP.

Only you know how you feel and if you aren't safe enough. Your husband has been asking you if you need to go to the hospital and now that you are saying yes he is saying no? That doesn't make sense.

And I'd never let anyone talk to my providers without me being present. I don't think my providers would do that anyway because they know I would have a hard time with it. But it just wouldn't happen because I would be unable to handle the worry that would go with it.
