SC drinks tea, hehe. JK. I like tea too. Karine, yes I do know second cup! I much prefer imported European coffee to North American coffee though. So, I was really wondering about the zombie-like/ half asleep feeling. Wondering if anyone who has this finds the coffee makes them feel more alive?
Coffee and DP
Hey all... anyone else notice that the boost they get from drinking coffee makes them feel more alive and less zombie-like? Without drinking coffee I feel half asleep or like half of my brain has been removed. On the downside, the anxiety it gives me is unpleasant and makes my DR worse.

Does coffee help to counteract the zombie-like state of DP for you?
Hey Janine,JanineBaker said:If coffee helps you feel less dp, then you should talk to a doctor about considering Wellbutrin. The stimulant effect is similar. It's NOT for everyone - might make someone very panicky, but it's worth discussing with a professional.
Coffee makes me feel less DP'd but unfortunately more DR'd. Thanks for mentioning Wellbutrin. I will definately keep that in mind.
Sebastian, your brain works half as fast after having a coffee? If you have increased anxiety from coffee (having had more than one cup- me too!), is your DR worse? In what ways are you a vegetable without coffee? Thanks.
Inflammed,
For six years before I drank coffee, I had DP to the point where I felt like half of my brain was removed. Coffee makes me feel alive. So I do not need coffee because I am addicted but rather because it makes me feel a bit more normal in that sense. (It does increase both my anxiety and DR though.)
