I don't know if its common, but it happens: antipsychotics can induce anxiety and social withdrawal and panic attacks, more commonly w/ older meds and higher doses, but...it could happen with anything, really. Blocking dopamine really screws some people up, whereas other people seem to benefit from the newer antipsychotics. Personally, I'd avoid antipsychotics unless you are psychotic, and try to find a different type of medication to deal with your problems.
