I can't have propanolol and maybe one other drug that is often used because of my MAOI and have found gabapentin far superior to cogentin. At a high enough dose gabapentin is also a mood stabilizer for me.

I hope the lower dose helps you.
And of course your Clozaril is famous for very rarely causing EPS, an advantage that is quite important all things considering.
