All I can say is WOW! You should really get off the meds that are complicating things. You can defininatley have some really bad side effects. I hope everything works out for you. I wish you well. I'm concerned about you as other readers have expressed. I am particularly concerned as I had some really bad reactions to Clozaril. They were doing blood tests to check white cell counts; but, the usual allergic reaction was not what I had. I was on it for several weeks. Everything was going fine and all of a sudden I came out with cardiomyopathy. It's where your body attacks your heart and can be fatal. Thank god I didn't live alone at the time because when it happened things progressed to the point when I was so out there that I didn't even realize what was going on and was so out of touch with reality that I didn't realize what was going on. When I go sick, my parents took me to the doctor's office. The doctor almost stroked out. My oxygen level was at 60%. I spent over a week in ICU and a step down in the hospital. So you can understand my concern. Good luck and take care. Best wishes, Danielle
