Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In her case, dose of clozapine could be increased. Maximum dose of clozapine is 900mg and she is taking just 25mg. Her dose can be increased up to 100 or 200mg if symptoms persist. With higher dose of clozapine, there is no need to give sizodon. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper medication.

Thanks
