Lexy,
I am so sorry you felt so bad. I know EXACTLY what you are talking about.
In spite of what the "experts" say, I don't stop eating carbs "cold turkey". I think that is just too hard on our systems, especially for those of us who are on psychiatric meds. I think it is better to wean ourselves off of carbs. I keep a few of the healthier carbs handy like orange juice, nuts, raisins, even tortilla chips, but no refined sugar or white flour though (except maybe for a little semi-sweet chocolate), for when my blood sugar starts to drop. In a few days, I am able to reduce even these carbs and feel better again. I think it actually takes a couple of weeks to adjust to low carb eating.
I wish you the best. Keep us informed.
Simus
