ABSTRACT
Clozapine is an effective medication for treatment-resistant schizophrenia, and it has been associated with well-documented side effects that limit its use. Clozapine-induced hepatotoxicity is a less-known complication of clozapine therapy. The literature is unclear about the psychopharmacologic options available following clozapine cessation on account of liver toxicity. We present a patient with clinical symptomatology in keeping with clozapine-induced hepatotoxicity who achieved full recovery following clozapine cessation and conservative medical management. Her psychiatric symptomatology was successfully managed with oral olanzapine augmented with haloperidol without recurrence of psychosis or liver toxicity.
