At my next pdoc appointment I'm going to ask to taper off clozapine. I sleep 12+ hours a day and have gained so much weight. Also I am sick of going to the hospital every month to get blood work done. I am sick of dealing with the pharmacy I have to go to as well. This week I called them twice to make sure they got the blood work so I wouldn't have to wait half an hour for them to call the hospital, and they said everything's all set, and when I got there they said they didn't have the blood work and had to wait anyways. This happens every month. Yesterday I got home and found out they only gave me 3 days worth instead of a months. I hate having to deal with all of this all the time.

I completely understand. I was on clozapine for over a year. I gained a lot of weight and had to go off it. My Pdoc took me off it and I lost the 30 pounds I gained from the clozapine. It did wonders for my psychosis, but I could not handle the side effects.
