Stop using clozapine?
That depends on the state of your condition that you are medictaing for and really noone can say for sure but a qualified doctor. What are you medicating for? 25mg seems to be a really low dose, I'm taking 100 mg on a day and I thought that was low too! If you are worried about the side effects it can cause, I have been on this medication (100 mg) for more than a year now and I will probably be doing it for at least another year. Keep 1 thing in mind: if you decide to quit your medication, you have to quit it slowly and lower the dosage for att least a half year to a one year, otherwise your condition could get worsen and come back in full scale. Trust me, I have done that misstake myself and learned it the hard way. Stay in touch!

2 yr therapy / Prednisone 60mg to treat Temporal Arteritis
II have been on this medication (prednisone) for years and since 2004 I have put on almost 100 lbs. I am cutting back it slowly. Hopefully I start going the other way. however, without it I would be bed ridden with severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Lovastatin
It was recommended to me to start using Lovastatin for my LDL was at 122. The Dr. said the LDL should be under 100. Can someone verify this? Can someone tell me the results they had with this medication? I have only been on the medication for about a week.

trazodone
I haven't noticed a difference in my depression (although I also take 75 mg of Effexor a day), but it does help me sleep. My doctor has me take 100 mg (2 pills) of Trazodone every night. Before, my insomnia was so bad that I would only get an hour of sleep total a night, and I would wake up every 20 minutes. Now I get at least 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night. It still isn't much, but it helps.
