Paranoia is something I struggle with generally. Everything from believing everyone on here hates me, to having irrational fears that my house willl be broken into or my children being killed while I shower.

I have unusual pain/soreness in both of my legs and I had a random and terrible sharp pain in my hip. I'm not certain these are even side effects but either way I feel like this medicine will kill me. Plus I was supposed to have my blood work done today but I was so knocked out I forgot about it. Now I'll have to find a sitter for tomorrow. What do you think?

Bone/muscle pain are safe side effects of clozaril (I looked it up). They aren't the most common but aren't rare either. But they are nothing to worry about.

Everyone doesn't hate you on here (I feel the same way a lot and when someone hints/states they don't like some people I'm sure it is me).

The blood work thing is a problem but if you can't fix it now you can't and you'll do better next week. Maybe you need to have someone else be in charge of reminding you that it is Tuesday and you need labs. This is why they aren't supposed to give you more than 7 days of pills, it helps keep you going to the lab.

As far as I can tell you only have to worry if you get sick or symptoms of sickness like a fever unrelated to anything obvious and then you just have to be careful and get labs.

Sometimes I feel that people here hate me too, for absolutely no reason. I also get paranoid that my boyfriend is going to die when he's at work. That leads to severe panic attacks. I hope you feel better soon.

I get that people on here hate me too, I'm just so sure they are being polite and putting up with me.

As for the side effects, with almost every med I've been on somewhere I the back of my mind I think something horrible is going to happen...usually it wears off. The only med that was stopped for health reasons was depakote and one time when I was on two meds that were not supposed to be combined. The average "get used to it" time was 3-4 weeks.

I know the feeling of thinking that people hate me. I feel that they would rather have me shut up.

Hope the pains go away soon.
