I got my 2nd Clozaril lab back yesterday. It started at nearly 1400 (600 is the top of normal) and is now down to a little over 800. I've not heard from my pdoc yet (which is weird; I wonder if she's out of the office or something) but I assume she'll have me lower it one more time.

I can't remember if I mentioned that I've had daily, sometimes several times daily, migraines since my dose was lowered last week. Yesterday I actually did not have a headache and today I started to get one but took ibuprofen immediately and it stopped. I'm not looking forward to lowering my dose and risking more migraines but I also want that number down ASAP since side effects are slowly but surely receding. I'm even losing weight more easily.


I hope I hear from my pdoc tomorrow. This is highly atypical and I know I'm unlikely to hear from her tomorrow because she doesn't do clinical stuff on Thursday.

I also hope that another reduction is the end of this. I'm sure we'll keep an eye on the levels from now on.
