Is mood stabilizer required on top of clozapine?
human
Can a GP prescribe clozapine? I only ask because I do not have health insurance that I would worry about them paying according to the ICD9 coding for type of Dr. Do you think they would? Does one usually require a mood stabilizer on top of the clozapine? I am on mirtazapine right now for stabilizer. Thanks
