Seriously? No one here can answer that.

Talk to your doctor.

I agree that nobody can answer this question but your own dr. Could you either message them or call them today with this question? That way you could get their feedback and opinion. I would do that if I were in your shoes.

Personally I took I think upwards of 600 mg of clozapine when I was at the public health center. My previous dr and I had me try clozapine for a year. I hope it helps you! Good luck and talk to your dr! @Crystal-Cotton

My doc is busy but I can try calling her tomorrow

Call her asap.
It’s a shame to feel bad

You’re still young. It can get better.

Whenever I feel like I can’t cope anymore I try to expedite my appointment with my pdoc. She prefers to discuss things in real life.

It’s difficult to get a caseworker on the phone. Call your pdoc leave a message. Are you ok?

I guess I’m ok.

Maybe they don’t want to increase it for reasons unknown to us. You can ask at your next appointment.

With clozapine they can’t increase it because of risk of fits but they can put you on lamatogine and that can help clozapine work better and then they can increase clozapine lamtogine is anti seizure medication

They always want to increase it even when im not asking

I hope you work mentally at keeping the paranoid thoughts away and not expect medication to do it all. You got to challenge yourself when you get the paranoid thoughts and reason them away. It’s not easy, but it can possibly help a lot.
