Great news! My pdoc just emailed me to tell me that REMS has been eliminated for clozapine. What that specifically means we don't know yet b/c she got so excited to email me she hasn't read the article yet but from what I read before it sounds like the end of the monthly mess of calls to the pharmacy and my pdoc's secretary. If it goes as hoped it will just be a normal med or a normal med after about 2 years of monitoring. I am so happy and hopeful that it will make it more available to people as well without all the go-between stuff. It's such a good drug that it would be good for more people to have access.
