Well given what you've said she already has a certain level of psychosis but getting pulled off so fast can make that way worse. So what I'm saying is what you're seeing right now isn't representative of what level she is really at. Personally at this point I would try the clozaril.....it doesn't matter if it was the drug removal or an underlying base state she needs to be stabilized at this point and nothing else has been effective. The APs are in general good for a couple of years but beyond that well there is no consensus but for me recovery starts with getting your functioning back to normal even if that means a couple of years of APs. Clozaril is sort of heralded as a miracle drug for some people and like matterly said it actually has a good side effects profile aside from weight gain and the blood problem...
