I think you should discuss this with your psychiatrist. We don’t know what meds or what dosages you should take.

Ask your pdoc, if you can tapper down your dosage of Clozapine. This may help you.
If you’re not happy with being on clozapine, you might want to talk to your CPN about not being happy with the meds you are on.
I came off clozapine successfully and I am now on Quetiapine & Amisulpride. It takes time to find the medication that suits you. Everyone reacts differently. What may suit one may not suit another.
