Linkadge,
Some people diagnosed bipolar also have problems with paranoia and hallucinations coming on after they stop meds. Here's an example I found...
http://www.brainplace.com/bp/atlas/ch8.aspShe complained of spaciness from lithium (like your unfortunate "30% below normal mental activity"?) and was switiched to Depakote and apparantly had that cleared up.
She had the walls talking to her rather than the visual distortions you describe.
