Thank you for all the information on Clozaril. I wasn't aware of all the potential side effects of this med. My doctor only just mentioned it on my last visit. I am still hesitant to try it just for the mere possibility that it could cause agranulocytosis. I have been taking Risperdal for about 10 years now, and I have always done pretty well with that med, except for a slight elevation in liver enzymes. As it is right now, while everything seems to be working fine, I have reservations about changing anything to my medication regimen. My doctor is open-minded. I told him I would think about it b/c he said it might help with the apathy and anhedonia. I think Risperdal helps somewhat with negative symptoms (at least it is supposed to), but Clozaril seems to have an advantage in that respect according to what I have read on the subject. Thanks for your feedback.
