Sometimes it's related, other times it is not. My thoughts are not racing
though, it's the speed of a normal conversation, the wierd part I find
is that I think of what I say as if this friend is right in front of me.
As far as I understand, "flight of ideas" is thoughts changing topics but just you thinking to yourself and not as though you are talking to a friend who is not there with you.
Sorry if I seem to be repeating myself but I find it a bit hard to articulate
what I am experiencing.
My pdoc put me on haloperidol which helped but the side-effects bother
me very much (ie. my whole body will jerk suddenly when I am not moving,
eg. at my desk resting my head on the table to take a break) so I went
off it. btw, I'm also on seroquel which is supposed to help too.

I do this all the time. As soon as there isn't anything else to distract me (eg a real conversation) I'll switch to having a conversation with a friend in my head instead. And it goes on for what seems like forever. I forget that I'm even doing it, I'm so used to it.
