E100: Antipsychotics: Dosing

In today's episode I will go over how to dose antipsychotics. I will discuss the difference between the max dose on the package, the max clinical dose, and the dose at which you will get 95% effectiveness, and these are not always the same. I will discuss the effect sizes of these medications as well. Then I will discuss how meals can effect these medications. Some need to be taken with food, some without, some just consistently one way or the other, and some without water. Then I will go over a basic patient education that I would discuss with patients upon prescribing these medications.
