Clozapine is usually prescribed for specific mental health conditions, often when other medications haven't been effective. It's important to understand the reasons for its prescription and any potential side effects. I recommend discussing this in detail with your psychiatrist, as they can explain why they chose this medication for your situation. Always share any concerns or symptoms with them to ensure you're on the best treatment plan for you.
Next Steps
Discuss with your psychiatrist
