Had to quit the Clozapine cold turkey last Friday because of severely low white blood cell counts (some stuff that was supposed to be 3.0 or higher was 0.1). Per tomorrow I'm also having to quit the tracydal and stuff for my stomach.

That isn't cold turkey, man - it's freezing turkey.

I am so sorry! That's so unusual for the WBC to drop so far into treatment;; I know you've been on it few months longer than me.

I don't know what going off clozapine cold turkey is like but I've been off quite a few meds that way due to allergies. Don't be afraid to seek help i you need it during the transition.

I am so sorry this happened to you.

When will they start another drug?
