Clozapine - will this tiredness get any better?

Posted by pretty_paints on August 10, 2005, at 14:11:08

Hello
I am on an inreasing regime of Clozapine. I'm currently at 225mg.
I am absolutely shattered each day. I CANNOT keep awake at all. I have four days leave from hospital, so the "crisis team" are visiting me twice a day to take my temperature and blood pressure. The crisis team woke me at midday today and completely woke me up. Then I crashed out until my mum came in at about 5pm, slept all day. The "crisis team" nurse said the tiredness should wear off after a few weeks. I've been on Clozapine for two weeks now though and I'm still sooo tired. I will sleep for a whole day and a whole night EASILY.
Is this tiredness ever going to ease off?? I'm worried that it's going to mean I have to stop taking the drug. Which is a big ARRGH.
Lots of love, ZzZzZzzzz.....
