> Clozaril seems to be in a class of its own. Zeprexa did nothing for my sister. Made her gain a huge amount of weight. Gave her slight TD of the mouth. That's the drug she was on when a voice told her to shave her head. And, guess what? She did. Not a very good job either! I understand Clozaril has major contradictions with benzos. We checked that out first before she was given it. She takes 200mg Clozaril at night only, which is low, considering the theraputic range is 350-450mg in divided doses.
Definately is in a class of its own and a "gold" standard for some disorders. As wikipedia notes though "Olanzapine is structurally similar to clozapine, and is classified as a thienobenzodiazepine". Clozapine does not have the Chlorine and Sulfur atoms. Trivia.
