When treating the symptoms of schizophrenia (such as hallucinations or delusions), it usually takes 3 to 6 weeks or longer before the benefits of clozapine are noticeable. The full effects of clozapine may not be seen until after 6 to 12 months. When clozapine is working well, you may notice that your thoughts are clearer and more organized. Agitation may be decreased and hearing voices or seeing things no one else sees (hallucinations) may stop completely or happen much less. Your mood may be more settled and you may see a reduction of intense fears and worries. Some people may even begin to feel less agitated within the first week of starting this medication.
Medications like clozapine do not work for everyone. If a noticeable improvement is not seen within a couple months, or if the side effects are too troublesome, your doctor may discuss other treatment options with you (i.e. switching you to a different medication).
