Does it have to be Clozapine? It seems to me that being on not one but two drugs famous for weight gain is going to make this an impossible situation for you. Did other ADs besides mirtazapine not help?

For me, mirtazapine and olanzapine were the only two drugs that made me hungry. I can't even imagine being on both at once. And I can well understand how gaining so much weight is very depressing in itself.

Racer had some good suggestions. You really do have to eat to keep your metabolism up. But I think I'd ask my doctor if I couldn't change at least one of the offending drugs.
