Clozapine (also known as Clozaril) is an atypical antipsychotic medication that is used to treat schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. As someone with schizoaffective disorder, I have received many comments suggesting I go on clozapine whenever I mention that I still hallucinate and have psychotic symptoms, even though I take medications that treat it.
While the people who have suggested clozapine to me mean well, I think it’s important to just get all the information out there for everyone. This video is in no way a vehement response to those people, rather it’s a video where I present evidence to back up the fact that clozapine is not a medication I should be on, nor want to be on.
So here are my three main reasons of why I’m not on clozapine. Psychiatric medications work differently for everyone, and don’t take this as an anti-clozapine video. I’m actually quite a fan of it and what it does for the people that take it. It’s amazing.
It’s just, not for me.
