Clozapine is a last resort medication and you need to go to the lab regularly to continue taking it, but it helps a lot of people. It is worth asking your psychiatrist to order baseline labs for you and then consider putting you on a trial of Clozapine. I suggest going off Rexulti completely to see what Clozapine alone can do for you.

Thanks. I really am considering asking my psych doc about the possibility of trying the Clozapine. He may or may not be receptive to it. But it's worth mentioning. Years ago, I was conversing with someone who went on Clozapine and they said that it was "like a miracle"; they said they got their life back on that medication.
