Hi Mikeey-
I have also had these sorts of symptoms when very depressed- very disassociated, things looking foggy, distant, distorted, and also a headache that feels like my head is not only stuffed with cotton, but way over-stuffed. I didn't start to get any relief until my depression was diagnosed as bipolar depression and treatment was oriented appropriately.
It seems like from the feedback you're getting that a psychiatric, as well as a physical evaluation, are in order. I think most people on this board would also suggest that you get the psychiatric consult from a psychiatrist very experienced in mood disorders. "Regular", i.e. non-psych, docs are just not up enough on all the current info on meds to be able to skillfully diagnose and treat you- they tend to take a one-size-fits-all approach.
Good luck,
Cece
