I take Abilify as well but I'm being weaned off of it. I was on 30 MG but now I'm down to 10 mg.
My pdoc says that Clozapine is so potent there is no need for a second anti-psychotic. My target dose is 300 MG but my pdoc says I can go as high as 500 (I think that's then number) depending on how it is metabolized. I am on 200 MG right now but am working on 25. It is taking a while for me to tirtrate up because I have to adjust to the sleepiness every increase. I will say so far I have adjusted to the sleepiness and been able to slowly increase my dose. I know my pdoc will tell me to keep trying th 250 MG dose.
