"I tried many meds, but clozapine has turned me around. Now I am working part-time, involved with the community, and living/loving my life. Medication is not the only key to recovery, though. You can't medicate life. I need to be supported and surrounded by people who are good for me."

"My son has been on Clozaril for 3 years. He was dx with bipolar when he was just 6 years old. He had literally been on every antipsychotic drug until his 7th hospital stay, his regular psychiatrist and the hospital's doctor decided to try this medicine. As far as his psychosis, it has been a wonder drug. But physically, Clozaril is destroying his body. In the first 6 months, he was dx with asthma. The worst of his problems that developed in the past 9 months has been GI and liver. He now has severe esophagitis, gastritis, 4 ulcers, and NAFLD (fatty liver disease). He has also gained over 50 lbs, not just teenage pounds. I was also told when he started Clozaril, it isn't really approved for patients under 18. Too late now."

"My husband has been given a chemical lobotomy. He can't sit still, he bounces and makes faces while watching TV, and that's all he does all day. I can't take him anywhere, he bugs his eyes out at people and makes monkey faces. How on earth did this questionable drug get approved? He is totally unproductive, slow, forgetful, and delusional."
