Has anyone have this? I'm terrified of anything that can take away my clozapine but I'm worried something is going on. I get lightheaded whenever I exercise or if I need to lean down for things like moving laundry from washer to dryer or sifting my kitty litter. My heart rate is always a bit elevated and I have a tachycardia dx from an EKG that did not show QT issues (but was a few years ago).

I think that this is just tachycardia but it just seems worse lately and I"m not sure what the lightheadness is. Low blood pressure is likely and so is hypoglycemia from being on Metformin when my blood sugar is not elevated.

I "see" (video) my pdoc Monday and will ask her. For now I'm just curious and frustrated because I just read that clozapine can lower the immune system and that means behaving with lockdown (which I have been.)

Anyway, just looking for experiences and how it felt?

Thanks
