netsavy006 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I was having a really rough obsessive thoughts, so I went for my medicine organizer around 8pm yesterday and took the Clozaril. About 30 - 45 minutes later, the thoughts significantly quelled down but I had side effects thereafter. When the medicine "kicked in" I was sleepy, I could barely get up and walking was a problem. I didn't tell mom what I had done. At bed time, several times it felt like I was going to lose my breath and die. This feeling occurred several times until I finally fell asleep. Now knowing what happens when you take Clozaril before bed, I won't ever do it again, but the benefit was worth some discomfort (because I did have the thought (again) to take extra Ativan, which I wanted to get rid of.) So (in my head), had it not been for taking the Clozaril early, I may not be here. But I'll never risk it again, given the high discomfort I had after taken it. It's for me, definitely a medication for bedtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorrel Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I'm totally confused. What time do you normally take it and how was what you did yesterday different from normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netsavy006 Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 I normally take it at bedtime which is 10pm, but yesterday I took it at 8pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
