So, I have been out of my med since Fri. I couldn't get my blood drawn late last week due to a virus. I am planning to get it done this afternoon. Hopefully my pharmacist will have my blood work by tomorrow or Wed at the latest and then be able to refill it. They can't loan me anymore. Anyone know if there are withdrawl effects? Will I be able to start again on 300 MG which is what I have been taking? Does anyone know? I simply don't trust my pdoc.

Clozaril. I'd google it and get info there. I think one member who was recently ip is on it as she weaned off Seraquel.

In the flyer I got with my Clozaril, it said to discuss with your doctor if you hadn't taken it for two days, as you would need to start at a lower dose again.

I was under the impression you had to restart & titration up again if you stopped? Maybe ask beyond the rainbow?

Yeah, you have to go down and work your way back up if you miss 4? days. I know it's not many. I don't know if there are withdrawl effects but those should be about the same as whatever you may have felt going on. Brain zaps I was warned about and had about 2. Maybe some upset stomach (although they never were sure if I had that because of going off meds, starting new meds, or b/c I had a couple of migraines).
You're probably going to have to call your pdoc......sorry I don't have better news.

I have no faith in my pdoc at all. His most recent mistake: telling me that he was certain there was no interaction between lexapro and my other meds (after I told him I was very suicidal) and him being incorrect and then NEVER calling me or my pharmacist back about it (about 2 weeks has passed). I'm not about to contact him about it again; I don't care how low I come because I am SO over him! So, I am just going to take all of your advice and start at the bottom and work my way back up to every 3 days. Thank you so much! It's not the best news but not necessarily the worst either.
