That does sound rough! A lot to simultaneously stop outside more intensive care. Please keep your doc updated on these uncomfortable withdrawal effects. Perhaps, as Yaowen wrote, your pdoc should have tapered something.
I'm assuming your new medication Lybalvi is new in the bipolar med world. I'd never heard of it before. All the more reason for your pdoc not to rush total switch to it, in my view.
