[Depersonalization_ammonia]

Hi there.
Did anyone test their ammonium blood level with chronic depersonalization/derealization?

Hyperammonemia can alter state of consciousness and cause psychiatric symptoms. I also can't tolerate any alcohol. I have slightly elevated liver enzymes so been wondering if something has been going on as taurine can also decrease ammonia level, which helps.

In this case ornithine, taurine, carnitine, sodium butyrate, gut binders and low protein diet may be of use.

Some kind of toxin in the blood would need to be diagnosed by blood test, no? That's how they diagnosed it in the case you linked.
