Do everyone become depressed when withdrawing from antipsychotic?

I dont know if this is common symptom or withdrawal depression effects those who have been diagnosed of having depression symptom as well.

I was unaware that AP’s could produce with draw symptoms. I’ve only been on AP’s for a couple weeks straight max. It usually only take them for a few days. I usually feel better when I quit them. All I want to do while on them is eat and sleep. Granted I’m BP and not sz/sza.

I have become depressed when going on an antipsychotic. It was as though I had all these super feelings and powers when psychotic and the medicine took them away. I haven’t Ben off antipsychotics in 30 years though.

I get euphoric when I first come off AP’s. Then I get delusional and out of control. Then I wind up back in the hospital. I don’t get depressed, though.
