But thought I'd ask here to see if it could be something as simple as anxiety.
I take Zoloft 150mg - same dose for well over a month, Topiramate 25mg twice a day started 6 weeks or so, and Trazodone 50mg to sleep - over a year.
I've been experiencing frequent episodes of anxiety over the last few weeks.

SSRIs are serotogenic drugs which can cause mild "visuals", similar to hallucinations from acid and mushrooms but much less intense because SSRIs act on the same system in the brain. Normally, people get no hallucinations or mental shift from them, but a few do while they are on them. The only time most people would feel it at all would be if they were to smoke marijuana in which case they would begin to notice a very mild psychadelic shift in their perceptions.
