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.
Yeah the fatigue is definitely getting me a bit. They already slowed the taper, was gonna be at 300mg at the end of two weeks but now I'm gonna be at 200mg.

I'll just set a phone alarm, havent had trouble with AM clozapine yet.
