chlozopine is supposed to be some wonder drug, as my friend put it. It is very heavy duty, and can effect your white blood count hence the weekly blood tests.

Sorry to tell this story, but I nearly died when I was put on it. I ended up with tachycardia, as my heart reacted badly to it. I was on the heart ward on a drip for about four five days. If the dose had went higher god only knows what might have happened. Things is I had a virus at the time and after the heart ward the doctor goes "not wanting to muddy the waters but lets try chlozopine again." I was like no! It had to be the drug because now I am fine I said.

I think if it works, and your body can handle it, its very effective. My friend was offered it and outright said no, she won't even ever go near it. If you can get another anti-psychotic, like Seroquel I would try them first but I don't want to sway your choice, chlozpine has a high success rate but I thought it was last resort for schizophrenia too.
