Hey folks after having few episodes over last few days, my doctors decided to increase my clozaril dose.
I’m curently on 250mg, but I wonder what’s considered high, low, or therapeutic dose of this medicine. If you could share it with me, I’d appreciate it. Thank you

I asked A.I. and it says:
For clozapine, the minimum initial dose is typically 12.5 mg taken once or twice daily43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 . This is to help minimize the risk of orthostatic hypotension, bradycardia, and syncope43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 .
The maximum dose of clozapine should not exceed 900 mg per day 43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 . It’s important to increase the dosage gradually over time to ensure safety43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 .
Always follow the advice of your healthcare provider and make sure to have regular check-ups to monitor your health while on the medication.

I take the liquid but the mg equivalent is 550mg per day
Going back on pills soon now they know it was not the pill form clozapine that made me vomit at night
