CLOZAPINE (Clozaril)

We never knew what to ask for. They won't want you to try it until you have tried at least two other standard antipsychotic medicines. Some doctors will not prescribe it. The warning is pretty serious and they say it should be used only for severely ill patients who have failed to respond to other therapies.

When I see a schizophrenic on the street, I wonder what wonderful person is trapped inside there. I would bet that 99% of them could resume sanity if they were on CLOZAPINE. They won't even get to try it, though, with the way our medical system works.
