Clozapine is an antipsychotic medication. It works by changing the actions of chemicals in the brain. Clozapine is used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia including hallucinations, delusions, and confusion.
The most serious of clozapine's side effects is agranulocytosis. Other important side effects include postural hypotension and tachycardia, sedation, seizures, weight gain, and rebound psychosis.

I take this as an anti-anxiety pill for panic attacks.

This isn't your run of the mill pill. This is a highly controlled substance and is HIGHLY ADDICTIVE!!!!

Trust me, once you get on to this medication everything will be great. Get off of it and you are more paranoid, anxious and possibly suicidal!

I wish you inner peace!
