I'm pretty sure you were experiencing withdrawal symptoms. It's one of the risks of starting a new medicine if you ever were to decide to stop. If you would have tapered gradually you probably wouldnt have felt the way you did.
For me antipsychotic medications make me feel empty and I dont like that they wipe out your dopamine which is an essential chemical in our brain. HeedHigh was saying it balances your dopamine but thats not the case, APs get rid of them because it was thought to be the cause of psychosis but good evidence of this was never found, the studies were criticized.
Medication for psychosis, especially something that lets you sleep, can be good for the short term to get you back on your feet but long term use isnt a good idea and can actually be harmful because of the side effects and other problems antipsychotics cause to people.
