That explains to me why I hallucinated on Lexapro.Once, when I was a teen, I had a high fever (and strep throat) and I saw Mr. Clean standing in the corner by the Christmas tree.
Other than that, I had never hallucinated before.
While on Lexapro, I once sat on my couch and saw a banner hanging on the wall that read, " HOMEWORK." I stood up to take it down (wondering why in the world my husband put it there, ROFL) before I realized it was a hallucination.
Another time on it, I had a very strange "out of body" experience. I was once again laying on the couch (yeah, I did that a lot while on Lexapro, ROFL), and I LITERALLY saw myself sit up and stare down at my body lying there.
It was the strangest thing I've ever experienced in all my life (well besides giving birth twice).
I also experienced similar things as linkadge described.
Many moments on Lexapro I had derealization. things seemed farther away than they were.I could only imagine it was how someone would feel on a bad acid trip- then I had to wonder why in the world ANYONE would deliberately want to do that to themselves.
I'm glad I wasn't born and alive in the 60's, I would not have fit in.
