That's one reason I'm on it. Mostly I'm on it for the recommended situation of having tried everything my doctor was comfortable trying (with my history of EPS she didn't want to try older meds and I pretty much ran out of everything else) but I wound up on clozapine after a nasty EPS issue from loxapine about 6 months before (I really wound up IP for that one too so 2 total hospitalizations for EPS). At that point clozapine was the only real option and it's been amazing aside from the weight gain.
