while most have it in episodes.
This is not true. Most people I've talked to in the DP Community, since 2009, the vast majority of them have been having it 24/7.
In fact, episodic DP is more rare, and actually what characterizes 'Depersonalization Disorder' is the quality of it being Chronic, as in 24/7.
I've had DP for almost 14 years now, every second of every day.

24 / 7 in the early years until meds saved my life...
It is now episodic only during times of extreme stress....Hence i avoid stress like the plague...In fact I have slowed my life down totally over the last number of years...The fast pace of modern living was just too much for me to cope with...

I have depersonalization 24/7 and derealization in episodes. My derealization usually only acts up when I get paranoid or other form of anxiety start to become apparent.

So you're feeling normal otherwise, thanks to the meds? Not numbed out or anything?

Is it safe to say drug induced is more likely to be 24-7? Sure seems like it...

I still have alot of DP symptoms but the medicine takes the overwhelming power out of the symptoms and as a result i can function....I have never been totally DP free since i deveoped it but as a result of meds I can function....And from where i was that is huge for me....When i had DP in its chronic form I was literally left totally incapacitated squirming in my bed in absolute hell....Low dose anti psychotic took me out of that state and handed me a big chunk of my life back...
I wouldnt wish were I was on my worst enemy...I came so close to taking my own life several times..In fact at the time if euthanasia had been legal in this country I would have taken that option in an instant....Not today though...Today im normally a 6 out of 10 and that is fine by me....
