Can you advise me on going cold turkey off clozapine?

Stopping Clonazepam: Depends upon the dose used. However, it is recommended that the medicine be weaned off as abrupt stoppage can lead to a seizure spell. Check with your physician.

Don't do it.: Clozapine is an antipsychotic medication used for Schizophrenia & Schizoaffective Disorder. When significant blood dyscrasias develop Clozapine may need to be rapidly stopped which can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as headache, agitation, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, orthostatic hypotension, return of mania or rebound psychosis, serotonin syndrome & catatonia.
