What is the highest dosage of Clozapine a person can take daily?

What is the highest dosage a patient with schizophrenia can take? And what are the risks?

[tinmuning]

Patients are not given a high dose of Clozapine immediately, rather they are titrated with a gradually increasing dose starting from one-half of a 25-mg tablet (12.5 mg) once or twice daily and then be continued with daily dosage increments of 25-50 mg/day, if well tolerated, to achieve a target dose of 300-450 mg/day by the end of 2 weeks

Dosing should not exceed 900 mg/day.

Of course you cannot do this without doctor's advise since dosage varies from one case to another. it's not like analgesics where you can either take 250mg or 500mg every 6 hours.

I will seek my doctor's advice before taking it. I just want to know the dosage so I would be aware what to expect. Thanks for the information.
