Dear Miriam< There have been a number of messages relative to this drug. You should be ableto get them from the archives of this BBS. My wife is now using Clozaril and the benefits are remarkable. It was prescribed primarily to reduce her hallucinations, which were getting worse, and which are now almost all gone. Although theliterature describes many nasty side effects, fortunately she has not reacted to them. Before taking Clozaril she also had low blood pressure. This is now stabilizing with the help of Florinef. I am telling you some of the history because, as we were told by Dr. Rami Kaminski, "the side effects are manageable". This encouraged our neurologist to prescribe Clozaril. If you have any further questions about her reactions to Clozaril, I'd be glad to answer them. Good luck! Irv Williams [log in to unmask]
