Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns but i must tell you that never medicate yourself on your own.
Clozapine is an antipsychotic. It has to be taken extremely cautiously that too only under psychiatrist's supervision.
I dont think there is such indication for clozapine as you have mentioned.
Please consult your doctor for proper evaluation.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.
