Backstory. I've been depressed for months and up until recently wasn't great with my med compliance.
So I've woken up yesterday and today to a really odd, almost floaty feeling. I'm not sad, my mood has picked up and I'm taking my meds as I should be doing. I'm sat here on my computer just feeling a bit out of it. I've got music rocking out and I've finally got the enthusiasm to talk to people and just life in general. I've taken a walk, which is a big thing. I just don't quite feel all there though and it so odd. The best way I can describe it is almost feeling a bit stoned. I'm here, I'm functioning more than I have done for the last two months but I'm not quite 'with' it. Anyone else felt like this?

I sometimes get a feeling, more of a sensation in my brain, that I am floating or that my head is not attached to my body. It is very hard to describe but the words I used to describe it to my partner were "spatially disorganized"...if that makes any sense at all. It's a very strange and somewhat unpleasant sensation. I think it may be related to the lithium.

Hi. I had a somewhat similar feeling a while ago just after getting out of hospital. I felt like I was floating and that my head was not attached to my body. Stoned was a good way to describe it. My doc said that it was probably de realization and depersonalizations from stress and anxiety. I don't know if that fits for you or not.

I had an "out of body" experience when I was a teenager. It was like I was floating above myself looking down. I felt as if my head was floating and it didn't stop for a while. Then sometimes when I get the "ultimate peace," which is the only way I can describe it, while very manic, I feel the same. Not sure if that helps but that's all I can think of.

Yes, I get this too.
Only since I've been on Lithium have I had this It's hard to describe, it is almost as if my head is not attached to my body and I can watch myself

Same again today, just not quite with it. Slept horribly last night because this feeling isn't going away.
Even tried reading for a bit but it didn't go well. I got about 10 pages in.

I'm taking 1200mg lithium, 300mg of venlafaxine and a couple of anxiety meds. Propranolol and something else, can't remember the name for the life of me right now.
