ther eis 2 dp units that are not ignorant of this illness, a London and New York.

Unfortunately, there is no proven medication for dpd, as they use to tell me. Except some great improvment on Anafranil, or Lamictal with a ssri. But Lamictal seem a potent med, so I think many of us are scared to try it (me included). Sometimes I say to myself : I have nothing to loose, other times I say : what if???

I'm not trying anything hasty because we're still living in primitive times as far as psychiatric medicine.

If that number ever reaches 10,000,000 hits per month. Then we can say that jc.

There`s always something more to lo0se !

You knew there was an hospital in Montreal Cynth that actually presents some conferences and studies about dp`?

theres two untis dedicated to dp agreed,but why i get so mad is for the fact that 13 years ago when i first went to the doctors and explained how i was feeling i was told 'its just anxiety'
now if i had been told it was something called dp disorder and if i was handed a little information on what the symptoms are then i wouldnt have made myself even more ill by thinking that i was going bonkers....

Same for me, I developped severe anxiety over the years 'caus I did not know what I had...

 

[jc]

i recall my first ever quote to the doctor when explainning my condition

'it feels as though im looking at the world from behind myself and through a camera'

dont worry its just anxiety and you are a little unbalanced at the moment,was the reply i had,then every visit to the docs afterwards i was told the same thing 'its just anxiety'

 

[jc]

dont look back into the past people tell me,but when something as simple as a leaflet describing what anxiety can cause to a human being etc....is all it would have taken to save years of distress for me ....then i feel very very angry and bitter

Hi,

Im just curious what makes you think that your dp is anything more than a product of anxiety? Are you ever COMPLETELY calm and relaxed and yet the dp remains? Do you feel you have a disorder besides your anxiety problems?

Yeah...anxiety is not a factor for me...it doesnt help but it aint responsable for my DP/DR.

 

[Guest]

As for me, i was 'given' DR & HPPD from drugs and from this anxiety, DP was formed. I believe it DP was the product of anxiety + DR. I've had anxiety pre-disorder, but nothing compared to this.

 

[jc]

anxiety started this for me...and the feeling of dp keeps me anxious

 

[dakotajo]

I think wether a person has heightened anxiety due to the dp/dr, its still anxiety thats the true core of the problem...but what the hell do I know.

This pissed me off- some doctors can't handle what they don't know about so they shrug it off...'its anxiety...' bollox...I mean, ok, anxiety is a component of it but depends on the individual...My GP knew i'd taken drugs and just still shrugged it off...shoved me on a nasty ssri and i bet you, that there's someone out there..some poor soul whose sufferin from dp/dr and is being told that stupid A word

 

[jc]

i would say there are thousands if not millions out there suffering from this and dont know what the hell is going on...i spent the first year of this illness in my room and ended up skinny as hell as i couldnt even eat...at least now when i go out i might feel dped but i now know what it is

 

[bat]

feeling good these days but i'd like to talk to a doc/shrink who's felt dp, surely there's one somewhere.
