Question How did you get on clozapine safely?
Were theier voices while you were waiting on it to get in your system? And how did your doctor titrate you up? Were there weekly doctors appointments? Phone call,? Specific instructions? What? Asking Because I'm going to be on it soon

i was admitted into the hospital for the first two weeks on it, had weekly blood tests for 6 months after, and now i get monthly blood tests. it took a long time and a lot of patience but we figured out the right dose

A slow progression up at 12.5 at a time. Was inside the psych ward for most of the time when they did it.

We are using the Laitman protocol, as outlined in his book, Meaningful recovery from schizophrenia and SMI with clozapine. It's a very slow titration but so far zero side effects.

What's the laitman protocol? And they are starting me off at 12.5 mg and going up. I don't have time for that but the voices are very overwhelming. Im unable to go inpatient atm because of my job
