Clozapine saved my life. That's a quote from my therapist. I've been on it 7 years and have had a few moderate depressions and one severe depression. I think I've had 2 brief hypomanias if that.


Some doctors don't prescribe it because they don't want to deal with all the extra paperwork (and I think certification?) and some are afraid of it but in cases where nothing has helped it is great.
