Okay so here is the deal: Clozapine is a hectic drug. hectic.

It is usually reserved for treatment resistant schizophrenia, and in extremely rare cases, for resistant cases of bipolar disorder.

I personally would not opt for that one. Definitely not unless you are certain that other treatments are not possible (due to other medical reasons) or do not work.

Serious side effects such as such as neutropenia, agranulocytosis, seizures, myocarditis and cardiomyopathy are why monitoring is required.
