Clozaril requires weekly blood tests for the first six months (to make
sure that the white blood cell count is not depressed), and bi-weekly
blood tests after that.Seroquel, which is similar in mechanism to
Clozaril, does not. Zyprexa also does not require any blood tests, but
the literature suggests that Clozaril and Seroquel, in small doses,(as
little as 50mg.)may be the preferred drugs to use for a Parkinson's
patient experiencing hallucinations.For Schizophrenia, doses as high as
900mg./day are used.   Carole Hercun,RNC    P.S. NON-PD: Dear Arnold:
