I've been taking the drug since 2007 and it manages my bipolar symptoms well so putting up with the side effects is worth it to me.

Interesting that you don't take anything to get rid of salivation during sleep.
But more importantly.. I think the sedation of clozapine is so good that I like it. It helps me think better.. and I don't want the sedation to go away.
I am currently on 175 mg of clozapine daily.. next week it will go up to 200 mg until I see my pdoc next month which by then she will decide if it is enough or need to be raised again.
But yeah.. I find the sedation so calming and wonderful.. so I hope it doesn't go away but sedates me even more as time passses by.
