My pdoc told me that she has had a patient on clozapine and abilify together. I had some bad reaction to abilify so that's not an option for me (and hasn't been needed) but she said she's willing to go up to I think 800 mg of clozapine. I'm supposed to be on 400 mg just for tonight but I have a feeling I'll be on that dose longer term as this hasn't really solved my episode. I'm not going to decide that for a few days though. Maybe tomorrow I'll be all better.

I'm glad the psychosis is improving.

I actually need more sedation at night (I take 1200 mg of gabapentin) but it took a while and starting to taper klonopin to reach the point I needed the gabapentin much. Plus I've had 2 really stressful years with grief and that hasn't helped. Glad you are sleeping though. I need to take everything now and hopefully sleep soundly tonight.
