Pushing antipsychotics beyond maximum doses
I constantly see psychiatrists going above the maximum recommended dose of antipsychotics (not even mentioning max effective dose). Zyprexa 30-40mg, geodon 320mg, high doses of risperdal. It is a personal pet peeve of mine and I especially hate it when they are on multiple antipsychotics along with the excess doses. I always adhere to the max FDA dose even in severe patients in the hospital, do you guys agree?
