The thing that I find strange is that it happens right when I wake up and it goes away after half an hour max ... so I dunno, I don't think its the meds ... I mean wouldn't it be worse after I take my meds rather than before?
Some wallpapers are REALLY freaky with that though. My mom's bathroom wall is dark blue with pale yellow flowers ... it looks like hundreads of crawling spiders ... I'm not afraid of spider but this just makes me shudder.

I see that stuff in the dark. I have seen it with Prozac and Lexapro.

That same thing happened to me when I took Serzone and Trazadone. It would never happen after I took the meds, just when I first woke up in the morning - for perhaps 5 - 10 minutes. Everything would look wavy and colorful - almost like an acid trip. I am glad it no longer happens.
