Spikes-
Hang in there. It gets better. At nearly 3 years in the lab and pharmacy trip (and every few months the mess the pharmacy makes of it) is so routine I can't remember not having to do this every month. The weekly days are a blur. I was lucky in that my pharmacy didn't understand the rules and gave me monthly supplies all along which helped but I did not get out of any labs.
How much longer do you have weekly labs? Even biweekly will seem like a lot less bother; at least it did to me.
I'm sitting here trying to remember weekly labs and I actually can't. My memory is pretty mushy around the first year on clozapine because I was so sick when I went on it and those labs and the frustration are just lost to time. Which is fine with me.
It really does get better.
