Does anyone have any experience withdrawing from an antipsychotic?

I have bipolar depression. It really kicks my ass.

For a while, I had a good medication routine going and worked for me, but my doctor decided to change one of them

She prescribed me something called vraylar. For a couple of weeks it was going great until it wasn’t.

I started to hear these creepy, intrusive voices in my head, telling me “is this it?” “Is this all to life?” And they made me so uncomfortable that I had to stop taking the medication immediately.

Unfortunately, I had been taking it for some time and it is the type of medication that is a “half life” meaning that it lingers in your body for some time after you stop taking it

It was the worst withdrawal experience of my entire life. I would cry for as long as four hours and then have no choice but to sleep from exhaustion from crying for so long

Some days I would wake up in the morning with such bad anxiety that I would start to gag. Luckily I do have some anti-anxiety meds that worked as a Band-Aid temporarily for this

I felt so bad. I have no motivation. I basically been laying in bed for days. I even called my doctor yesterday and tried to plead with her to give me an appointment or maybe prescribe me something that could help make the withdrawal easier

I sweat so much I am constantly drenched in sweat. I was told that these are all very common and withdrawal symptoms from antipsychotics

I’m in my third/fourth week of withdrawal

It’s just a really horrible feeling. I’m finally starting to feel better after four weeks. I just don’t feel like myself yet and I was wondering if anybody else had any experience like this? 😔
