Hi there

Is the clozapine for you, and do you have RA as well?

I've not taken that particular drug, but have taken others in the same class. Clozapine is one of the nastier antipsychotics. You will need frequent blood tests.

So sorry I can't enlighten you with regard to clozapine. My son is on Haloperidol which has it under control.

Clozapine needs monitoring with blood tests is used to be a more common treatment for mental health disorders. Oddly enough it's like a lot of ra drugs I know people who love it and people who hate it.

In the end it's a discussion between u and the doctors
