It’s a miracle drug. Who else takes it and what is your opinion?

I took it a few years ago and it was amazing. Unfortunately I had to come off it because my neutrophils dropped to 0.5. But when I was on it my psychosis disappeared and my mood was so much better.

I lost the ability to speak! I cannot take it again because of that bizarre side-effect.

It's an atypical antipsychotic that's mostly used for Schizophrenia. I looked it up yesterday cuz I was wondering what it was.

It’s impossible to ascertain who has what worse. A diagnosis is just that, nothing more. It’s what an individual experiences that matters.

Clozaril is good for people that don't respond to other meds, but because it can cause low blood counts you literally have to have your blood drawn and tested once a week!

The only reason I went on it was because it's actually considered the safest med of it's type for pregnancy and I was considering a family... But when I literally started stuttering so bad I couldn't speak I had to be taken off it.

its true .. individual experiences cannot be reduced to several definitions matching several medications..
