Clozapine changed me from treatment resistant to responding fairly well to treatment. I still have episodes but they are minor compared to what I had before. I've been on it 3 years and have had only one sort of bad episode. The last time I started to get mixed I asked to take a higher dose for a few days and that worked extremely well; 4 days and I was much improved and back to my usual dose.

It's not the easiest med but honestly I've been on worse. And it works. Next month will be 3 years out of the hospital.
