Did the fatigue get you? That does improve a lot. In fact I need gabapentin to sleep now and I'm still not a good sleeper (but sleep has been an issue since I was 4 days old so that's just me).

If you are too tired you can ask if you can slow your taper a bit. I don't know why they wouldn't do that aside from wanting you at a therapeutic dose ASAP.

Missing doses is exactly why I don't take an AM dose. I'd have to get up and be more alert than I am in the mornings to get that dose and so I'd constantly forget it (just like my thyroid med I struggle to take because it is supposed to be taken in the morning) and then I wouldn't get enough clozapine and the night dose would be increased anyway yet I'd still not get the AM dose.
