My med providers both inpatient and outpatient are always obsessed with getting me on the highest dose of whatever meds I'm on ASAP. Vraylar? Yup, 6mg. Zyprexa? from 0-30mg in two days. Invega Sustenna? Let's start off at 234 and keep it there. Risperdal consta? gotta be 50mg (but at least they let me lower that one to 37.5mg after a while). Lithium? 1200mg when 900mg worked fine. Seroquel? 900mg (800mg of the XR and 100mg of IR).
Maybe this is why I keep getting side effects I can't tolerate.
