Sleepy, and slow. Dose-dependent of course.

Most things, especially things taken to sleep, will have a rebound syndrome of some sort -- antipsychotics are no different. I'm not really in favor of the whole terminology of addiction, like "hooked", but, sure, if you wanted to stop taking it, for instance, it's a great idea to titrate down. Cold turkey is a horrible way to stop taking most drugs.
