I've noticed most of yalls DP is drug induced. The only thing I've done was marijuana twice at age 15 (I just turned 19 now). And my derealization (24/7) didn't start until 2 months ago, so the smoke had no effect on me after all these years. But I've had dysthymia (long term chronic depression), moderate OCD, and panic/anxiety for the last 2 years or so. But my anxiety has been extremely high in the last 3 months and I was on Xanax for a couple weeks and got off 5 days before my DR started. So can those things alone cause 24/7 DP or DR? And is there anybody else who's DP was just plain panic/anxiety induced and not associated with drugs rather than perscription ones?

do you remember the day you got derealization ?

 

[AHuseman]

Yeah, why?

Last post. I can't get to sleep!

I have never had a rec drug in my life save alcohol. Never smoked a cig or a joint. I had anxiety, depression and symptoms of DP/DR in childhood. Chronic since @age 12.

No Rx drug onset.

I believe mine is a physical illness, nature/nurture induced. I had a predisposition and.... here I am.

OK, NITE. :x
I hate being tired yet unable to sleep!

i dunno if mine was drug induced but it played a role. I smoked a joint then a week later i had a panic attack which gave me chronic dr. I remember smoking marijuana repeatedly after with no ill effects.

the reason i've been here and not stayin over at benzobuddies is cuz them people there probably think I'm f*cking crazy for real

Yep. I've never done drugs, I've just been neurotic. I'm hoping my dp is a consequence of a certain breakdown and will fade when my brain's recovered ...it's been a year now, so hurry up, brain!
