Hi J!
>its worth a try but warning for agruculosis white blood cells that are killed
Agranulocytosis is uncommon but you must have blood tests once weekly to detect it at an early stage. You also need to know the symptoms of agranulocytosis eg. fever, sore throat, mouth ulcers, flu-like symptoms etc.
>im taking seroquel, one of its side effects is also decreased white blood cells, i might be moree vulnerable for this when i start clozapine no?
Seroquel very rarely affects white blood cells. Seroquel won't make you any more vulnerable to agranulocytosis if you start Clozaril.
Kind regards
