Maybe you can ask your doctor if in the future a change isn't working out if you can go back to the old dose until you see him/her? I had a decrease in my clozapine sometime recently and when things got worse a week later I knew I was allowed to just go back to the old dose. When things got worse and I needed a higher dose I knew she'd probably be ok with my going to that dose but asked first to be sure. She tries to give me some degree of buffer zone with some meds.
