I've had all sorts of odd perceptual effects when i: started new med, a med poops, stopped/tapered a med,or from prolonged sleep deprivation.
The truth is, reality is a construction. Those walls do exist inside your mind. Now if you can walk through those walls, then we're talking something remarkable.
Personally, I've really been reducing my chem intake to 1x150 wellbutrin and caffeine, from a parnate based cocktail, because my hyper acute or distoted sense perceptions were getting to be disruptive.
I think the most common/scary one I hear about is movement in the peripheral vision. And typically, in my experience the med's that muck with this are of a dopaminergic flavoring. and spending lots of time by oneself...
Really sucks, as it's not exactly (mood) poop out, and i was often quite open to perceptual curiosities (as an artist), but after a few bad experiences-it's the perceptual oddities that scare me off of potent AD therapy. Now I just feel like a lump. Not much better.
Hoping more light will help after the 21st.
Oh and maybe a brief sex holliday.Cheers,
