I wonder, general opinion, and experiences, what SSRI is the least troublesome and the better for derealization and depersonalization.

I am now off Paxil (well, 5 mg) and it's horrible. I didn't like it on it neither. I am now thinking of trycyclics because I tried all AD = SSRI's and felt very confused.

I just wonder if someone take antidep (new ones) and what they think of SSRI's. Or other kind of meds.

Thanks,

Paxil is helping me great with deperession en anxiety, it also reduced DP/DR and Obsessive thoughts. So i'm hapy on paxil, don't want to think about withdrawl actually

I'm on Lexapro and although I haven't been having panic attacks, I have been dealing with bouts of DP/DR so either it's causing it or it's not helping.

I'm on a super low dose however ( 5 mg's) and have only been on it 4 weeks so it's possible it hasn't fully kicked in yet.

I've tried Paroxetine (Seroxat/Paxil) with some success over a period of 16 years, but it didn't prevent social phoba and agoraphobia developing because of the dp.

Recently tried Sertraline (Zoloft/Lustral) for six weeks, but it seemed to make the dp worse. Now off Sertraline and considering returning to Paroxetine.

I really not think any of the drugs I have tried have been much use. All have had some effect in some way....some bad and some worse. Temazepam did work at stopping a DP attack one time years ago.
