clozapine tachycardia

I take 150mg Clozapine regularly after a late dinner. Some time after, 1-2 hour I feel really dizzy and faint, especially if I get up from bed I have a strong feeling that I am going to faint. Does anyone else get this with Clozapine or other Bi-polar meds? I also noticed that my capacity to do exercise is effected. My muscles get sore quickly when I am trying to jog and it is hard to jog more then 5Km. Is there a Bi-polar medication that does not effect ability to exercise and do sport?

I just finished my second week of Clozapine. My WBC and ANC dropped too low, so now it's 2 lab draws/week. My mood isn't stabilized yet, and I don't like the side effects. I just would like feedback from others who have been on Clozapine long term. How are you doing? Is your mood stable most of the time? What kind of side effects do you experience? Any other helpful tips. Thanks.

These people who say euphoric mania is caused by clozapine for bipolar disorder. How do they know that? Clozapine is tightly controlled here. I don't see it in any of the drug literature. How many times does she see her doctor? How often? I know in Iran, I heard and read people choose ECT first before medication.

A man I know is on Clozapine for his bipolar disorder. His psychiatrist prescribed it.

I don't know if I can help you, but can say I've been exactly in your shoes. I, too, rapid cycle. For about 8 mo. in 2010 I had a psychiatrist who did more harm than good, nearly ending in my suicide. I also have tried nearly everything on the market, making it difficult to find a successful regimen. I'm currently on Wellbutrin, Lamictal, Cymbalta and Clozapine. The clozapine is the most recent addition and has made a huge improvement. There are downfalls, though.

I am going to go on clozapine in the summer though and then try for a baby....the medication Abilify is not good during pregnancy and I'll be taking choline pills as well to help with the baby...

Has anyone taken verapaml or clozapine after no other drugs worked? I'm at my last resort after being on Depakote, Lamictal, Geodon, and Cymbalta. If anyone has had any experience with either of these drugs, I'd like to know what you thought of them.

i had a priapism epidsode back in august of this year by taking psych drug clozapine.. now i'm sexually impotent from that epidsode....will ED drugs (viagra, sildenafil) cure it? or make it worse?

I still obsess with having HIV .My doc put me on Clozapine .I feel that im getting the wrong treatment .I feel sick I have all the symptoms of HIV and and every time I tell my doc how a feel he says it’s side affect of my meds. Is there that I have a different strain? I been through a lot this year and I don’t know what to do any more I tried taking pills to kill myself tonight and it didn’t work.

So does anyone know of a med that can do the same thing as clozapine Because clozapine cause other things like bed wetting and drolling then he does choke in his sleep from it and has thrown up cause of drool and more. He is on abilify already too. Im not sure there is any other med the is heavy duty he is on. I know the doc said there is no other heavy duty med out there like that. Im looking for somthing simialr or less risky or 2 less risky ones they can put him on together at the same time.

I am taking Zyprexa 20mg and Clozapine 300mg. At certain times in the day, every day, I get really agitated inside my head and don't know what to do to make it stop. My thoughts are talking me down, but not exactly telling me to commit suicide which is why I'm confused and not sure if these are suicidal thoughts caused by the medicine. I am 26 years old. These thoughts never stop, doesn't matter what I do or what I think.

I've tried almost every med, and combo incl. antidepressant and mood stabilizers. 3 yr ago we tried clozapine (a last ditch) It has been my "wonder drug". It's a hassle due to frequent blood tests to make sure the white blood cell count stays up. The the ceiling dose is 900 mg and I'm currently @ 325 mg, so there's plenty of wiggle room if needed. Everybody responds to meds differently but for someone who is desperate it might be worth discussing with your dr.

-Have already seen two physicians and a doctor, hopefully getting an MRI soon -Has been going on since I quit Clozapine (antipsychotic) cold turkey (was only taking 100 mg or so a night) Dec of 2017, was prescribed by a psychiatrist to treat bipolar -every time I used it I got so incredibly drowsy but simultaneously couldn't breathe so I couldn't fall asleep (nodding off to a degree but afraid to let go) and lost sense of identity for 6 hours and eventually would be able to sleep after t

I was diagnosed with left ventricular tachycardia, but had no signs of any structural heat damage or disease ( I have been told it is EXTREMELY rare) we have no idea what caused it. I had a cardiac catheter ablation. It was successful and he told me that it was actually a lot worse than they thought, so a couple months later we did another one to make sure they got it all, well I had no sign of tachycardia. So here I am 1 year later and I have constant shortness of breath.

even my BP machine shows a irregular heart beat symbol....am i having tachycardia?? is it normal?...what should i do now...??

Hi, I'm a 22 year old female who goes to the gym 5 times a week. I've had palpitations on and off for the past 5 years. My resting heart rate is around 65bpm. Last Wednesday (five days ago) I was at my usual spinning class when I checked my heart rate monitor because my head all of a sudden came over very light. It said 200bpm (where I usually never exceed around 185bpm), before dropping to 120bpm, going back up to 190bpm, dropping back down to 90bpm, and so on.

I have been having tachycardia in my sleep which resolves once I wake up (usually in a panic and short on breath). My doctor gave me inderal to help control this, but I am scared that I have sleep apnea which may be causing this to happen to me to start with. I am not sure what to do because I cannot pay for a sleep study at this time, I have no insurance or money...so I was wondering, would it be dangerous for me to play around with inderal with not knowing of my true diagnosis?
