ZYPREXA/CLOZARIL decision- Cam, can you help?

Posted by Karen Curtis on October 23, 2001, at 8:12:13

Hi- I have posted on this board recently concerning clozaril and zyprexa. My son is taking geodon 160 mg, the max recommended dose. I am not sure if it is helping with his paranoia, and it may be too activationg- not sure yet. Anyways, our pdoc (he is terrific) mentioned clozaril. I don't want to put my son on this drug, Evan drools on the geodon! The pdoc did not mention zyprexa because my son has been on it- well, he was on it a few years ago, when highly manic, and all he took was 5mg for three weeks- ( the pdoc has not been reminded of this, but I will remind him). It did not do anything because Evan was so manic and it was such a low dose! Should we try zyprexa again?? Is zyprexa closely related to clozaril?? Thanks so much for replies!! Karen Curtis
