> Did this come on, or become more noticeable after you stopped using the Xanax? Because 'derealization' and 'depersonalization' have been reported when people stop using benzos suddenly, and that sounds as if it might be bit like what you're describing. I've experienced some perceptual distortions when I quit them in the past, nothing drastic, but I certainly felt very odd and 'disconnected' from myself. It's hard to describe.

What I have been experiencing is a rapid succession of triggering events, though, and I think I should have been more vigilant in taking the Xanax as prescribed (which is quite low; .5mg a day). All my usual routines have gone out the window, actually, which is contributing to my feeling of disconnection, I should think.
