    I’d recommend discussing this with your doctor.

    Nice to hear from you, KI! And it's good to hear that you're making progress on a lower dose of your meds. I would agree with FM, though, that this would be something to discuss with your doctor. It's difficult to reality-test the kind of experience you are reporting, and your regular careprovider is in a much better position to tease out what this perception means than we are out here in internet-land.

    No need to be disappointed. You are reporting that you are healthier overall, and whatever the reason for the phenomenon you are perceiving, the experienced outcome is that you are meeting up with people that you want to see, and who want to see you, and presumably having positive, pleasant encounters with them in those moments.

    This is not a small thing.

    You've received great replies above. I'll just add two quick thoughts:

    1) I see this synchronicity frequently in Hallmark movies, where events are choreographed and conversations scripted to achieve happy endings after basic life lessons are gently learned. Although these movies may be somewhat formulaic and predictable, the characters are not living in a panacea and therefore experience occasional setbacks and misunderstandings... followed by personal reflection and growth.

    2) It is my understanding that in real life this phenomenon of synchronicity may be experienced more often by individuals with a gifted intellectual profile, to the degree that they may be quick to observe and predict patterns, make connections between ideas, see parallels with other concepts, and recognize opportunity as it unfolds, in real time, while it is being presented. In other words, they may be somewhat less likely to realize belatedly that they coulda-woulda-shoulda maximized opportunity which they let slip away.
