Any thoughts on it? I start it to night and it sounds like a hardcore drug.

I haven't taken it but just wanted to say not to be scared. I was so afraid of clozaril because it sounded scary. "Drug to be used as last resort"...what did that mean? Was I THAT sick? How harsh would it be if it was to be the last resort?

It was fine. I am fairly stable on it, I don't hate it at all and after 5 years I trust it completely. I also know now that I needed this drug. It was exactly what I needed even though I didn't necessarily want it.

Hopefully it will help you get some relief.

I'm so glad you called your pdoc. I hope you feel better about doing it in the future now.

Also, don't forget not to judge the thorazine for the first week or two. It may hit harder and then lessen. I've had plenty of meds do that before and it's frustrating to wait it out but unfortunately necessary.

So I don't feel drugged at all! I'm still hyper as hell. I slept probably 6 hrs on it. So maybe I'm more hyper then I thought. After last night I'm not worried at all. He said I'd feel drugged for a little but I don't at least not yet. I know it should take a couple of day to kick in. I kinda feel like I beat the meds and I'm awesome but the point is to get me stable.

I was on it for a bit and it worked right away for me. Felt drugged at night and was fine during the day. It depends on the dosage I hope it works well for you.

It's not been long but I don't think it's doing anything other than sleep.
