I am no expert. I thought 20 mg was the highest you could go on Olanzapine. Have you tried Lybalvi? It is Olanzapine and something else. It is supposed to be better metabolically. I tried to take it but it was SO sedating I couldn't handle it. So I went back on Olanzapine. I also take Latuda in conjunction with the Olanzapine because Olanzapine alone wasn't enough. Has your doctor thought of augmenting with something else? I don't know about Clozapine personally because I have never been on it. But I think it is supposed to be really good. So it might be a good option. Do you have a psychiatrist or do you get your meds through your primary care physician? I see a neuro-psychiatrist and he has been really helpful. He doesn't take insurance so he is really expensive but he has probably saved my life. Good luck to you. Let us know how it goes. Hugs if wanted, Kit
