Your mainstay of treatment is antipsychotic ie risperidone. Clozapine is also an antipsychotic but this much of dose usually prescribed for sleep also. If close is clonazepam and you r ok with its sos dose for sleep it's ok. U can take it sos.

Clozapine is not available as 6.5 mgs, close 0.5 mgs acta as a hypnotic and gives you sleep, if vyour problem is schizophrenia that may not help. Please discuss with a Psychiatrist or take a second opinion.
