In reply to Clozapine for mania, posted by ed_uk on March 26, 2005, at 19:09:24
If I am not mistaken, this is what was given to my cousin when she had a psychotic episode. It was misdiagnosed as schizophrenia and would not respond to any of the APs they tried, until clozapine, which stabilized her. I am not positive--this was before I knew much about meds....she was subsequently rediagnosed as bipolar and was put on mood stablizers that helped more....
She has bipolar. She was just hospitalized Friday after a relapse, after 10 years in remission. I am so sad.
