I have been taking Clozaril for a little over a month now. My doc has increased it slowly from 37.5mg to 100mg. I am drooling at night, have night sweats, very vivid dreams and nightmares. I suffer from Bipolar II Disorder with a history of psychosis and major depression. Will the clozaril really stabilize my mood? Will the side effects go away with time? Previously my old doc had me taking 800mg of Seroquel XR, 160mg of Geodon and 3mg of Risperidone - ALL AT ONCE! Any comments, please. THANKS!
Clozaril side effects, please help?
