I’m having disorienting/trippy changes from a psychiatric med side effect-shit sucks

[BipolarGrowth]

At first I was wondering if this was some sort of HPPD, but I discovered it’s a side effect from my psychiatric medication. I guess this is just a reminder that even prescribed medications taken properly can mess you up. I woke up a few hours ago feeling disoriented which is something completely new for me. Within 30 minutes, I started experiencing double vision. About 10 minutes after that, my vision kept pulling upward. I couldn’t even open my phone to read text. A lot of nausea was caused by this. 
 

Practicing meditation and having psychedelic experience didn’t at all fully prepare me for this new kind of experience. On that note, consciousness can always fuck your shit up. There’s so much out there we are not prepared for, no matter how experienced we get with altered states. This was like a bad trip, but I got caught trying to do normal activities. Thank God I wasn’t the one driving. I can only imagine having to try to operate at work in a state like this. It would be hell. 
 

I’m obviously making a doctor’s appointment ASAP to get this resolved.
