Dear lybrate-user,
it is nice that you are regular in taking clozapine and amisulpride in adequate doses. Please continue them to prevent relapse of positive symptoms of schizophrenia. Apart from tablets, you need psychosocial rehabilitation services to improve your memory and logical reasoning. Please consult a psychiatric social worker or rehabilitation specialist for it. You can also take cognitive remediation therapy. All these may be available in a rehabilitation halfway home or shelter...more

No they are not contra indicated with each other. Generally when clozapine is used, it is used alone in equivalent dose of required antipsychotics for the reason to control symptoms.
Side effects decides about combining two or more drugs generally to reduce side effect of high dose of individual drug.

Hi lybrate-user, dystonia is a psychiatric emergency, please consult a nearby psychiatrist in-person or visit any medical emergency. The psychiatrist will also be able to explain you the causation and mechanism of hallucination and delusion along with potential side effects of the medicines. Whether he needs 1/2/3 medicines will be best decided by examining the patient, going through the previous medical records and past response to medications.
Thanks & regards.
Thanks & regards.

No there is no permanent cure for schizophrenia. If she is not yet settled then increase dose of sizopin slowly. Go for tlc and dlc.

It is compulsory to undergo regular blood test (WBC) when on clozapine. If she does not do, she has to be compelled or the medication, changed. Chance of agranulocytosis is 1% and it is the protocol to do, else no other option, but to change medication. All the best.
