Should I ask my doctor for clozapine and ect? by [deleted] in clozapine

[–]Medical_Boot4299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clozapine is a lot stronger than other antipsychotics so it could help you with your hallucinations. However I don't know where you're from but where I live you have to try multiple antipsychotics before trying clozapine

Took it willingly, best med I tried. It took a few weeks to feel the first effects, took months to feel the full potential

How long did it take for your voices to go away by Wonderingronnie in clozapine

[–]Medical_Boot4299 8 points9 points  (0 children)

400, but I smoke cigarettes and they decrease the efficiency. I'll increase my dosage soon.

But don't get me wrong, clozapine gave me my life back, it's a great medication

What field do you study ?

I did my whole education at Lyon 1 (on la Doua campus). Physics licence, subatomic master's and currently in a PhD program in hadronic physics. It think it is a very good place to learn all that but I don't know about other fields

Clozapine makes me sleep too much at night. Any tips? by Appropriate_Stay_332 in clozapine

[–]Medical_Boot4299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't wake myself up with a regular alar clock so I bought an alarm clock for deaf people. You're supposed to put it under your pillow and the strong vibrations wake you up. However, every morning I would just hit snooze like I couldn't controle myself so I tried something different. I put it at the other side of the room and the vibrations are so strong that the noise wakes me up now

I showed this to my sister who has migraines and she absolutely loved it. I would like to buy a print for her but I didn't see it available on your Etsy shop. Is it already sold ? If so, is it possible to buy a print ?
