I understand we all have choices in life and I may make an euqally difficult one with Clozaril eventually but do people on here who have arrived at that point really arrive at Nardil and Marplan, etc, after trying only a few antidepressants or is it a a last case scenario?
I know that people who do take the class of medications have a good result but I just can't imagine carrying around the equivalent of a nitroglycerin container with nifedipine or clonidine or other HBP medications just because they ate some unknown ingredient at a restaurant.
With a worst case scenario, since MAOIs should be flushed out for 14 days, I'm imagining at least $31,200 to $52,000 in a combination of ER triage, rooms and possibly psych wards for that entire period to determine a better game plan.There is no warning, it just happens, immediately, a hypertensive crisis.
I must say Clozaril is not without its risks and expense but a body conscious person like myself could detect "not feeling well" and monitoring programs are very frequent.
