Reduc. in dosage - Detox from Clozapine

I've been given Clozapine (an atypical antipsychotic) surreptitiously for 5 years. I had mild OCD which my parents took as schizophrenia. They put me on ~35 mg clozapine per day (given to me at night, mixed in my meal). They actually purchased 100 mg tablets but split them into 3 pieces of varying sizes. Now, I consulted a psychiatrist who ruled out Schizophrenia. Hence, I want to detox from Clozapine. Doctor says I should reduce 5-10 mg, and see if it works for 15 days. What's the formula? 10%

Need second opinion.

Hello doctor, My mother is being treated for mental illness in Chennai. She is currently on the following medication: Loxapax 25mg ( night) Loxapax 10mg (morning) Oleanz 5mg (night) Thp 2 mg(morning) Vincomo (morning) Clozapine 50mg (night) She has been given clozapine yesterday during our consultation. Today she behaved differently in the night and has been so restless through out the day. She will not stay in one place and keeps moving around, she had suicidal thoughts before clozapine was prescribed by the doctor. Why did the doctor prescribe clozapine? Should we consult our doctor for emergency? Our doctor has not yet diagnosed the illness as we consulted him just a week before. Kindly advice.
