> I noticed when I was on Celexa that I would develop a formless sense of fear, especially if I was alone on my boat or icefishing. It happened also when I was on effexor and vyvanse, and it is happening now frequently on Parnate.

> It stopped when I was not on these. In fact I was able to enjoy my surroundings and these great activities weaning off effexor (some of the anticonvulsants like gabapentin and trileptal also helped with this to some degree).

> I don't think this happened at higher doses of these meds, which would zone me out a lot more. I don't think my long-term, low dose klonopin is involved as I was taking it during these downtimes. My Lamictal can have strange effects like making me more obsessive.Pristiq did this to me. That is, dysphoria and doom at night. Some BP dx? You might trial different stabilizers. Or a combination.
