AP induced epilepsi - Im tapering of clozapine
(English is not my first language)
Ive been on clozapine since September 2025, in the beginning the side effects effects was sedation , drooling and constipation. And also randomly falling and involuntary muscle movement
It wasn’t until February this year I , for the first time in my life I experienced epilepsy, GTK to be exact. First time it lasted 5 minutes, I got a brain scan he neurologist said it wasn’t anything .
Fast forward to mars it happened again first was 20 minutes , the last time happened in april and it lasted for 1 hour. Biting my tongue , peeing myself. I went to the hospital as soon as it happened. Thats when they found out by taking EEG , that it was epilepsy.
I started on 312,5mg I am now on 287,5mg. Tapering of 12,5mg each time.
I haven’t experienced any withdrawal symptoms yet , I take zolpidem for sleep.
