Hi guys,
Hi Ed, where are you, are you ok? I saw Phillipa's post.
Just thought I'd do a little update on stupid Clozapine.
Side effects are...
1) Tiredness is a joke. I sleep ALL NIGHT (10pm-12pm) and then all afternoon. I finally start to function at about 7pm in the evening.
2) I'm nauseous all the time and have thrown up twice (usually in the morning when I am trying to NOT fall asleep. The effort makes me want to vomit).
3) I'm feeling LOW. Maybe even a bit depressed, don't know why.
4) THE EMBARASSING PROBLEM. I keep loosing control of my bladder at night (eek!). I keep wetting the bed. I wake up half way through and think, "what the hell am I doing???!". Does anyone know if this is a side-effect of Clozapine? It's very embarassing. Maybe it's because they put me into such a deep sleep (?).
Anyway, that's it. I am on 425mg a day and I am still getting all the side effects and absolutely NO postive effects. Grr.
xxxxx
