I can't imagine starting something really sedating and going up so quickly. I remember when I was working that I always timed increases to Friday nights so I had a few days to recover and it was always really hard still for the first several days of the week. I can't imagine adding sedation to sedation (I know that clozaril goes up pretty fast but starting so much lower than you did. By the time I reach 50 I'll probably have been on it several days or more.) I've read the drool thing is an unpleasant side effect. I did read that atropine drops under the tongue can help.
