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.

I found your blog from another.
I will be starting Clozeril sometime early next year, the paper work is in limbo with the holidays.
I am glad it is working for your son.
Have a great New Year.

Wow, this is odd. I see you commented on mine, and I guess I just got on today since august.
I'm extremely delighted to hear your news about your son. One of my best friends has recently been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and havn't seen him in a while...
As for me, I made it out of my bout, and am doing pretty well. I decided I didn't want to see any professional help, and figured my brain out on my own.
I wish the best to you and your family.
I'm glad to hear Clozapine is available and working for you.
I wish it had worked for my daughter.
i really love what you said about wondering who's trapped within that person with schizophrenia. i didn't know that about clozaril.
