Once I was prescribed low-dose antipsychotics to help me fall asleep. They made me energetic, productive, I actually started enjoying life. Then my dr said it wasn't supposed to happen so cut them off.

I mean, what if the better quality sleep was causing those effects? That does seem unfortunate you had to stop using something making you feel better. I wonder if there was a different, more dangerous side effect they were worried about.

"euphoria" was among possible side effects. I guess the worry was it was getting me high.

Oh fuck that. I would get a second opinion. At least now you know to underplay it. "I think it's working, yes. Sleeping better and feeling a little better, no side effects that are bothersome, this one seems good, thanks."

Oh no, they shouldn't make you feel too good!

The goal of antipsychotics is to stabilize your brain that has been fucked by a big ass dopamine imbalance. Euphoria is actually a state of mind that can worsen your psychosis. So yes, they shouldn't make you feel too good because feeling too good creates more delusions

Sometimes antidepressants can unmask bipolar disorder and cause manic episodes but I've never heard of anything similar with antipsychotics. In fact they're often used as sedatives as OP alluded to.

Unless mania or hypomania was present previously in a patient, this would be more about the drug's effects than revealing a pre-existing condition.
