Hi guys!
I’ve had DP on and off (mostly off) for 8 years. I keep it under control with olanzapine 2,5 mg + 10 mg citalopram. I’ve also been in therapy for little over 4 years. However, it stopped working a couple of weeks ago and I’m in full blown DP like at the worst of my journey. I’m trying not to panic, my psychiatrist increased my dose to 5 mg olanzapine and 20 mg citalopram. It’s been two days and I don’t feel any positive effects just yet. Has anyone gone through the same thing where they had to increase the dose? Did it help? Thank you

1. Escitalopram is better in almost every way
2. Don't fret. Just like the onset of when you tool the meds originally, it will take time for the new amount to circulate in your bloodstream and your brain. Stay strong.

Thanks! I hope that’s the case. Last night the dp went away completely for a few hours. Today it’s back but I’m feeling much more calm about the whole thing.

That's great! Just don't overthink it. If the symptoms subside then don't go searching for them...if you get what I mean. Just go with it and keep your mind occupied. Best of luck 👍
