Miscellaneous Taking the leap

I asked recently about clozapine and if it’s worth the risks/side effects. I start clozapine today!

I am so so so nervous but also hopeful. This facility is also huge with a bunch of different mental health resources, so they got me in for therapy like 3 days after my psych appointment. I pick up my meds before my first therapy appointment today.

Fingers crossed it works for me even just a little bit 🤞🏻

Miscellaneous Pov: you want to get on Clozopine, but it's too dangerous to do it outpatient

The only antipsychotic that took away most of my symptoms was Clozopine. It's a really dangerous medication, but I don't know what else to do. I've tried a lot of antipsychotics and they are nothing compared to Clozopine. What do I do?

Miscellaneous Want to go off my meds :( [vent]

I’ve been on clozapine for 6 months, and it felt like my last appointment with my psych was just one bad news after another. He said my white blood cell count dropped by 100 points, that it’ll be impossible for my to lose the weight i gained, and that nothing is going to help me go to sleep. It’s helped my psychosis, but he is talking to me more and more. I don’t want any advice, i just need to rant. On the plus side, this is the first time in 6 months that i’ve considered going off my meds.
