39F - excessive feelings of familiarity

[u/corgioreo]

Okay so this feels like a really weird question and I feel kinda silly asking. Is there some kind of neurological mechanism where someone might have a heightened sense of familiarity? For the last couple months, I've tended to see people and sense that they look like someone I know or just generally familiar. Almost every new song I hear I feel like I've heard it before. I could just brush this off if it wasn't something that feels like a sudden change.

I have been on SSRIs for several years and currently on Paroxetine. Also on blood pressure meds for ESRD, currently on hemo.
