I've tried them all. And they immediately make my DR worse. I'm trying to do the paxil and lamictal, but i just go crazy. Klonopin might be the right one.

Is this common that they make it worse?
I was on effexor when i had this huge breakthrough panic attack, which led to the past three years of serious DP/DR. So im wondering if there is some sort of association that my brain has with them. Just a thought.

Thanks everbody,

Brian

When I am feeling psychotic I take a zyprexa.

By the way, Pure Narcotic, you must be a total abstainer too - of coz? :roll: If I guessed right, good for you... And... Is it better to be an alcoholic, psychotic person, who doesn't use antipsychotic meds, AND who cannot study or do anything else constructive either, but only drink all one's money and end up being liver-damaged believing one will be the next saviour of the world? Just a rhetorical question regarding the use of antipsychotic meds... :wink:

Just when we THOUGHT we were happy... Story of my life.

Nunnoo I see a HUGE "stress" level in Pn. I understand huge stress levels...

You cant really "see" a huge stress level, but the tighter you're wound the more "simple" you can sound... the more you can unravel.

Any defences down comment I ever make in life ends up with "laughter" "dirt being kicked in my face" or people "using" my loose comments for ammunition...

Alot of people are highly stressed but can "inject" it into their words, therefore dumping THEIR issue into others...

Can pure happiness be left alone? Some people have lives where only pathetic glimmers of hope and sunshine are present. Twangs and the rest is PURE HATRED...

I'm "over-reacting"... but some things mean alot to me.

My Mum "made me" crash during each of a "handful" of pleasant days during my childhood... I can actually "list" them off...

Severe tight stress levels, and being raised without SELF-EXPRESSION at your disposal can leave you sending very strange signals to others... profound stress level people WITHOUT PURE SELF-EXPRESSION to use, dont take anything "lightly".

Our mind is nothing but chemicals whether we like it or not. None of these meds will ruin your life in theirself. Try them and if you dont like their effect, then stop. No harm done.

OK, if you didn't understand my rhetorical question, I may explain it to you. The hypothetical alcoholic, psychotic person in my example was me, without meds. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to study and live my life if I hadn't started taking Zyprexa... It is very obvious that I might have ended up being an alcoholic, as during my PTSD psychosis I practically lived in bars. Drinking alcohol eased the emotional pain I had inside bc of the flashback memories. In the end I also had quite serious delusions, e.g. "the fate of the world depends on my actions", to say the most curious one. I couldn't study, nor could do anything else constructive. And bc of this competitive society, I'm pretty sure I would never have recovered from psychosis without the aid of antipsychotic meds, as I didn't have a chance to go through it in a safe, supporting place like in Jungian psychiatrist John Weir Perry's Diabasis experiment during 70's. I do not love meds, but I see they are needed sometimes - and considering the state of this wonderful modern society, antipsychotics may sometimes be the only way to recover from a psychotic state of mind. Maybe not everyone needs them, but I needed. That was my point.

Hi Ghost, I didn't mean you with my rhetorical question, it was the indication of my probable case, if I had never tried antipsychotics... *hug*

Yeah, maybe you are the exception to the rule. Unfortunately though, alot of people go on these meds when they could get by without them and find other coping techniques. These are the people who end up getting sick and addicted. If you are better off than before and have very few side effects, then I commend you. You are rare if that is the case.

I thought Janine said people with DP/DR cant get Psychotic?

Anti psychotics gave you brain damage? If so, then I don't doubt it. I have read all sorts of stories. I have brain damage from benzos, but from what i'm told, it is only temporary. What is your story with the anti psychotics?
