For Schizophrenia "Well, my sister has been on Clozapine for several years now. She is no longer her former self. Completely different personality. Zones out, underproductive, forgetful, and unable to do much for herself. Her life is a shell of what it used to be. Put on so much weight, but above all that, no quality of life. It makes my heart break. No one should lose themselves in the light of mental illness because of a drug. It's not even the schizophrenia that's done this. It's Clozapine. I feel like I've lost her, I miss her. With Clozapine, it is like literally sitting there watching someone who has taken Valium. Zoning out and forgetful. She doesn't deserve this. At least when she had schizophrenia with no medication yet, she was herself. I want her back! This drug needs to be lowered or changed, hospitals are just leaving her on it after years. It's no life at all."

For Paranoid Disorder "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."
