Hi, quick note. Has anyone experienced this condition. I think it might be related to temporal lobe epilepsy or left ACC lesions from the pubmed research.
Basically, I am experiencing the very strong sense that certain people are familiar to me, the "don't i know you" feeling. Numerous times per day to a point of being distressing and distracting. And of course, none of them are familiar, which I realize quickly after looking and feeling the sense of familiarity (so i'm not delusional).
Anyone? The condition is actually called "hyperfamiliarity" or "hyperfamiliarity for faces" if you want to look it up. Very odd.
Emailed my doctor, he says it sounds like deja vouz, but it happens all the time, and ONLY with faces.
Concerned. Figure it's been going on for 1-2 months. Only thing new has been Nardil, and the Psychotropical guy says "if anything, Nardil would reduce the risk of epileptic activity".
Thanks
