To 300-400mg if I want to get rid of the shot 
Why do you want to get rid of the shot?
cuz its embarrassing
What are you embarrassed about (if you don’t mind saying)? 
getting the shot lol
Did they tell you higher dose clozapine gives risk of fits
Do they do your plasma levels
No they didn’t tell me that
Nothing embarrassing about treating your mental and physical health. Would you feel embarrassed about having a cast on a broken limb?

I am pro med, she doesn’t like clozapine.
She’s a child and cannot do anything you suggested. As a minor she must follow doctor’s orders.
