Heavy depression

Hello, I have Paranoid Schizophrenia and I am having bouts of severe depression. Today I also had suicidal thoughts. I am currently in a day clinic, which means I sleep at home, and I am taking 10mg of Olanzapine every day. Me and my psychiatrists are in the process of switching to Clozapine. One of the doctors said that the target dose should be 300mg of Clozapine. Is there any chance that Clozapine will take this depression away? I functioned really well on Quetiapine and I worked while on it, but it failed to remove my positive symptoms completely, and I was taking high doses of it(1600mg/day). I believe Olanzapine is causing my depression and making me very tired.

I’m on clozapine
But I’m on 60 mg of seroxat which prevents too much depression
Hang in there hopefully your psychiatric team will get you right
