I am not a dr, but typically shadow figures/objects are indicative of anxiety acting up rather than psychosis, while colorful stuff is indicative of "stronger" hallucinations. Similarly, if you see things in the corners of your eyes rather than right in front of you, it *could* be anxiety.


I say this because if Wellbutrin was somehow helping you with anxiety, then you may see a large influx of anxiety as a withdrawal symptom and thus lots of shadow figures/objects/movements.
No it's full on a person. No shadow or hints of a person. I'm taking about seeing someone as if they were really there. But somehow I know it's not real.

I do sometimes see shadows and movements just outside my vision.

It could be anxiety too that's true.

I hear voices too but they are not intrusive, they don't make any sense and come in waves mostly when I'm really tired.

My pdoc doesn't seem to be too concerned about this yet. I guess she's seeing how the sleep goes. But I need to update her each week so she can monitor the situation.

Thanks blue band sorry for the late reply I haven't checked this thread in a few days.
