I saw my pdoc today and she agrees that I'm a lot better in the last month. I still need to go day by day but clozaril is definitely successful thus far. She is thrilled that I'm reading again and we had a little book club discussion when we found out we like a lot of the same books.

She's not so confident that she's willing to not schedule me for an appointment 3 weeks after my next one so that I don't go 6 weeks while she is on vacation but we'll cancel the 3 week appointment if I'm still doing well in June.

I am so relieved to have someone else agree with my mom, therapist and I that I'm better. It's been so long and such a hard battle and I am beyond words to get my life back after 2 years.
