My pdoc answered some questions I had about the timing for my next clozaril lab. She answered and then said that we'd probably have to lower it again but that we would make adjustments gently. Which is good. I don't want to be pulled off it fast. But now I'm scared I'm going to have to come off it completely. She hasn't said that (I did send a message asking that she's not answered yet) but it can only go so low. I guess with my levels as high as they are maybe it works properly for me at a much lower dose than I'm on. But I'm very anxious about this. I wish I knew what was going to happen but of course there's no way to know. I assume we lower the dose until I'm in the normal range and we'll know more about how the level comes down with a decreased dose when the next level is drawn. I just want it to be fine now. I think I know when it started to go up because there's a point a lot of weird stuff started happening close together. If I'm right lowering it may make me feel better than I have in a long time. We'll see. I wish this lab had been an option for longer so we knew what my level had done over time like lithium or depakote.
Oh well. Time will tell.
