Stopping your medication cold turkey was a very foolish move, not to mention a potentially dangerous one.
You yourself said you have a very sensitive brain which I interpret as being sensitive to medications which is why I can’t understand why you would stop something cold turkey especially an antipsychotic. I doubt very much you had your doctors approval to do that. As time goes by your side effects should either go away or at least become less severe. These types of medications need to be stopped slowly and most of the time more slowly than what your doctor will recommend. It’s really necessary for anyone to suffer the withdrawal symptoms like most everybody here seems to go through. Your brain needs time to adjust to the different dosages. The less your your brain has to get used to at any one time the more successful your taper will probably be.
However slow tapering doesn’t seem to be your only problem since you were having side effects from the beginning. It appears to me you need to better advocate for yourself and if you’re non confrontational perhaps take someone with you who can advocate more forcefully. Your questions should always be answered to YOUR satisfaction. Don’t forget who is working for whom.
I don't know for sure but when or if your doctor calls maybe you could ask if another medication would help not only the withdrawal symptoms but the depression and anxiety as well. I personally would tell the doctor if you started a new medication that you wanted to begin it at a very low dose and go up slowly which should reduce any side effects. Your starting dose seems high to me. Does your doctor know you're sensitive to medications?
Hope you find a good outcome to this mess,
