melissaw72 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Clozaril screwed with me too, and those side effects (2 out of 3 of them) never went away after stopping the med. I wouldn't go back on that med if someone paid me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna- Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 My heart goes out to you, melli... Try not to take it personally? Our MIs have terrible effects. The medications we take to treat them have terrible side effects, if they work at all. Like Crazymeds says, it's a matter of which sucks less. It's a pretty brutal reality. Are you still on Clozaril?

mellifluous Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thank you glasses x I know it sucked for you, too, Melissa Wish it hadn't for either of us Luna, no I'm on prolixin injections and zyprexa for antipsychotics Haven't taken clozaril in I'm not good with estimating time I defo had intolerable side effects and it ruined me Not agranulocytosis, but orthostatic hypotension and bowel issues and a seizure It works for others though Which is great But for those of us it didn't, it's a big deal to have the thing , *the* thing there is for refractory schizophrenia and thats supposed to reduce suicidality fucking make you worse in the latter as you continue to decompensate And I'm glad to see it wasn't just that I'm the failure it's them; the hoop failed me, and not I it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
