Of those I have constipation, drooling, sleep problems, weight gain, dry mouth, blurred vision and drowsiness. So 8/9 for me too. I don't have increased sweating but I do have sun sensitivity that is pretty annoying (the sun stings and I burn really easily).

I have been on everything else that I possibly can be on so clozapine is it for me. and I'm thrilled with how it works. I've been on so many meds though and knew for a long time that I'd finished the ones with lower side effects and so was going to have more side effects just as the way it goes.

Have you been on a lot of other meds or was clozapine an early choice for you? In the US they try to avoid using it until everything else has been tried but I know in Europe that is less true. I'm not sure about Canada at all.
