I was driving my car and the road seemed like it was going forever.
I was heading towards the traffic light in the distance but it seemed like I was not getting there!
Honestly it felt like I was tripping on Mescaline or another Hallucinogen.
My perception was completely off!
Maybe it has to do with increasing the risperidone.
It was downright scary!

That is really frightening. An old friend of mine had a similar experience with some laced marijuana. He said his house was like a two-minute walk from the corner but that two-minute walk turned into 2 hours, he cried when he got home.

@Wave sometimes time goes faster or slower for me, it’s really bothersome to say the least. I think I would freak if it happened when I was driving.

Yeah that sounds scary @MissJennyJen.
I don’t know if what I experienced has something to do with anxiety.
I’m going through some major life changes.

Everyone on here is so high functioning! I don’t drive, I have my updated license and am certainly able to drive, my parents just want me to have my sister in the car with me. My little brother drives my parents car everywhere when he is home from college. It is really embarrassing that I am 3 years older and can’t drive.

I should have not been able to drive at one point in my life. Anxiety was too bad. Actually also when the psychosis was bad. Well I got 2 dui’s for a reason…1 for alcohol and 1 for psychosis (but tested positive for pot). So I wasn’t allowed to drive for a year 
Should have been longer but that’s were the laws.
But since adding naltrexone my anxiety has slowly gotten better and better and now I feel I can drive long distances just fine. Maybe an hour is the most I can drive consecutively. Yesterday I drove 80 out of 95 minutes when I picked up my cat and was fine. I am very proud of the strides I have made with my driving abilities. I was always a skilled driver, but somewhat reckless in my younger years. Then I came down with panic attacks every time I drove. That was when I shouldn’t have drove but had to. Now I’m fine.

Driving requires quick reflexes, concentration and coordination.

Are you from the States @eduvigis?
I had something similar when I tried Lyrica for pain a long time ago. I was driving to work and the road started looking like it was so far away, then scrunched up, then far away again. It was so trippy. Luckily I lived close to work so I pulled over and walked the 2ish miles to work. Scary, though.

Trippy is a good word to describe what I went through.

I get all kinds of weird perceptions while I’m driving or waking. They are mostly temporary and I don’t worry about them.

I can’t drive at all. I drove for 40 years. Very badly. I was always getting tickets and getting into car accidents. Especially accidents. I don’t know how I survived all those years. It came to a head in 2015 when I had five serious accidents all in that year and two traffic citations in that same year. They snagged my car insurance, forcing me to quit driving. I had to move into an assisted living home after that. I’m too scared to drive now.

Happens to me all the time. I remember on long car trips with my dad i would be hearing voices and Seeing the road do this at stop lights. Driving still brings hallucinations more frequently
