| Core Tip |
This case is the first to describe severe, refractory hypertension as a consequence of sudden clozapine withdrawal in a patient with treatment-resistant schizophrenia and metabolic syndrome. Blood pressure remained uncontrolled despite intensive antihypertensive therapy, while normalized rapidly after clozapine reintroduction. These findings demonstrate that hypertension may be an unrecognized manifestation of clozapine withdrawal and highlight the critical importance of vigilant blood pressure monitoring, gradual tapering, and, when necessary, reintroduction of clozapine. This report contributes to the understanding of clozapine withdrawal syndromes and provides valuable clinical guidance for the safe management of affected patients. |
