I generally get derealization. Everything around me seems very flat and 2D. Everything seems to have an invisible bubble around it.

Derealization is a dissociative symptom, and can be a symptom of mental disorders such as "severe sleep disorders, depersonalization disorder, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, dissociative identity disorder, and anxiety disorders." That's from here: Derealization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And yes, it can also be caused by Benzo withdrawal, LastQuestion.

Maybe you're experiencing depersonalization? Depersonalization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cymbalta, 60mg -- for the depression.
Latuda, 40mg -- for the paranoia (delusional type).
Adderall, 40mg XR & 5 mg reg -- for the ADD.
Xanax, .5 mg as needed -- for the anxiety.
Topamax, 50mg -- still figuring this one out.

MDD, but possibly have some form of Bipolar Disorder. Then again, I could be paranoid . . .

Well, at least I still have my sense of humor.
