I went to my school psychiatrist, and was diagnosed with GAD. He was against benzos, even though a previous script from my physician helped alot, so he put me on Gabatril, since Its supposed to work similarly. After a week or so, I felt some relief in anxiety. I tapered up to what he felt is a normal dose for anxiety.
Then the anxiety pretty much came back. Then, mostly in situations where I'd become extra panicked, all space in my field of vision would become 2dimentional. I couldnt judge how deep a room went, the wall floor and ceiling just seemed pressed up against my eyes, except for a tunnel of regular 3d space in the center of my vision. Very weird. Like a street drug. Reminded me of the couple of times years ago I tried 'shrooms.
