A person should try clozapine for at least four to six weeks. Some symptoms, such as hallucinations, anxiety, paranoia, and bizarre behavior, should improve within that time; other symptoms may take longer. Additional improvements may be noticed over six to twelve months.here have been no confirmed cases of TD directly caused by clozapine alone, but patients should be regularly monitored for the development of TD. While agranulocytosis usually occurs most commonly within the first 4â6 months of treatment, you are at risk of this rare adverse effect for as long as you take clozapine.
