My 23 year old son was just put on Clozapine. After so many trial and failures of drugs. In and out of the hospital. Try the same meds over and over. For the first time in Jan he became violent. We lucked into a great psychiatrist. He asks for permission to use clozapine. Why did it take this long to find this drug? Why must it be so difficult? I learn many doctors just don’t want to deal with the extra work and regulations. When you reach this point the side effects mean nothing to me. My son is basically dead inside already. What if he had access to this drug at 19? Might he be a functioning member of society? I pray it’s not too late for him to continue to get better on this drug. He was just discharged after 30 days in the hospital.
