I have been unable to get Clozapine (generic for Clozaril) since Feb. 2019 at my regular pharmacy alledgely due to "backorder". I don't believe "backorder" is the real reason. I live in NJ and I recently read that many of the generic drug houses are being investigated due to collusion. They are trying to drive up the prices of these meds and the way to do it is through collusion. I note that Adderall and other psychiatric meds are also on backorder. If this is true they should throw the book at these vulchers. ## I live in Essex County, NJ. As stated in my original report to you, NJ has cracked down on these drug firms who are/were in collusion with one another to drive up the prices on much-needed meds. Without naming any of them, one of the firms named in the indic...

If Caregivers lapse the 300 mg twice a day, Fazaclo for a week, can it be started up again without loss of effectiveness. 36 year old daughter on Clozaril, taken off due to dangerous levels of white blood count and put on a national list, then put back on Fazaclo by another doctor, saying it was a safer form. Daughter went into hospital and was given emergency injection of Haldol and was off Fazaclo two days. Went to a group home, and the blood test took a week to come back, off Fazaclo for 7 days, during time receiving Halperidol injections IM. I was told that the Clozaril loses its ability to work if it is allowed to lapse. ## It isn't that Clozaril entirely loses its ability to work, but that it works best when taken regularly, so a constant level of it is maintained in the body....

side effects when used with a co diagnosis of Asbergers syndrom and schitzoeffective disorder ## I am taking clauseril and would like to know more about this drug ## Clozaril contains the active ingredient Clozapine, it is most commonly used to treat schizophrenia, when other treatments haven't worked. In those with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, it can help decrease the rate of suicidal behavior. It is usually considered a last resort treatment, since it creates a risk of low white blood cell count, risk of seizures and high blood sugar. You can read addition details on MedlinePlus. Is there anything else I can help with?

How long after I start taking buspirone will I start to notice if I have side effects from the medicine? How long will it take after I stop taking the medicine for my side effects to go away? Will it interact with clozaril? Thanks. ## Hello, John! How are you? There's no definitive time frame for when side effects may start, if you experience any, it depends on the person and the dosage. Some people may experience some soon after taking their first dose, but some people never experience any of them. Generally, there is a peak about 4 to 6 weeks in, after that, your body starts to adjust to the medication and the side effects typically taper off, until going away entirely. The FDA lists the typical side effects for this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, weight chang...
