neuroleptic withdrawals suck. And docs tend to pretend they don't exist. Even withdrawing from Abilify (its "clean," apparently) was very, very difficult--benzos (ativan+klonopin) helped alot, as did trileptal. Sleep was important, but just as (or more) important was controlling mood swings and keeping anxiety under control. If benzos aren't an option, I imagine trileptal or some other anticonvulsant would help, plus something sedating (maybe vistaril?)
