Clozaril is the best med I've been on. I'm still working on dosing and side effects but aside from being asleep through half the day I'm functioning better than I have in a long time and my mood stays mostly stable. I'm hypo now but even that isn't so bad, just irritabiity that so far I'm able to control mostly.

It's too bad that Clozaril has to be a last resort because it is really effective. The blood draws are a pain but now that I know where to go I can get it done quickly and painlessly. I gained weight at first but have gone back to my pre-Clozaril weight. Constipation is a major issue but my dr is working with me and we have a solution even though it's kind of extreme.

It's not like I'm going to be going back to work or anything but I don't feel like things are constantly getting worse like I did the last 2 years or maybe longer. The better I get the longer we realize things were bad.
