I don't have any experience with Clozapine unfortunately, but I am on a medium-high dose of Escitalopram.

Personally, it took away that always sluggish, forever tired feeling that hung over my body like a cloud. Once the meds really took affect, I realized I physically felt better, and had more energy to actually do things. Keep in mind these are things such as, going for a walk or standing up for a few hours at work. Nothing like suddenly exercising or anything truly mind blowing. They're definitely nice to have and I don't think I'd go off them until I've been cleared to do so, if I ever get cleared.

The withdrawal symptoms if you forget to take them though are a PAIN IN THE ASS. The nausea, the headaches, the vertigo, the body aches... imagine trying to deal with that while walking a mile to work and talking to people face to face all day. Miserable. Don't forget to take your meds, man.

I experienced that when I withdrew my medications but I am tired of taking them. Taking them makes me want to do CTB

For sure. Unfortunately I have people around me that monitor if I'm taking them or not and know the symptoms when I don't, so I don't have the luxury to stop. Having the energy to at least leave my apartment does make things a little better in the long run, though.

Thank you sharing your thoughts about the meds i took. For me nothing really works im still the same, actually i just took clozapine for 1week and escitalopram for 1month and a week, i will try to wait for about 2mounts what will happen to, clozapine makes me numb all over my body.
