Can I have some information about Clozapine?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Firstly, Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic drug. It means that it is one of the relatively newer drugs discovered to be helpful in paranoid schizophrenia. Clozapine also has lesser side effects and is considered more effective than the typical or older antipsychotic drugs in schizophrenia. Since your partner is still having anxiety in the presence of others, Clozapine will be helpful. However, Clozapine still has a few side effects to be watched out for. Some of them are a reduction in the number of white blood cells, cardiac toxicity, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, drooling of saliva when sleeping, and weight gain. These side effects last only as long as one is taking Clozapine. Since you are planning for a child, it is important to know that many male patients taking Clozapine have experienced cessation of ejaculation during orgasm. But, it has not been documented in drug guides. Having written all that, your partner may have more or less of the side effects mentioned above. Thus, I would say that he may start taking Clozapine and see how he reacts to it for some time. Please consult with his doctor to know if any other alternatives will be very helpful.

Thank you.
