Hi,

I recommend the Seroquel option... Clozapine is a very serious drug, I don't think many pdocs would prescribe it unless you were an inpatient... weekly blood tests, massive weight gain, etc...

If Seroquel works, then possibly find a way to make it work for u... I stayed on it for awhile and the sedation lessened a little... you can also add Alertec, an activating agent, to help you function better.. this approach is quite popular now i understand...

Some people have even said that the higher the dose of seroquel, the less the sedation.. whether or not that is the case with you, we can only hope...
