Hi!
my name is Marco. I suffer from DDNOS and OCD.

I take these medications:
  • Escitalopram 20 mg in the morning
  • Lamotrigine 100 mg in the morning and 100 mg in the evening
  • Brexpiprazole 2 mg in the morning
  • Mianserin (the European “equivalent” of mirtazapine) 15 mg at bedtime

I have problems with my sleep. I have been having fastidious nightmares for 2 or more years. Now I don’t know how to do.

Could you help me?

Many thanks,
Marco

What did the Brexpiprazole help with?

I take 200 mg Lamotrigine 10 mg ecitilocram and 20 mg nortrypline (Reducing dose from 25 and gradually even less due to weight gain.) I also take methylphenidate for ADHD/fatigue (also helps with depression)

Still haven't recovered from depersonalisation. I would say I have seen a 30-40 percent improvement mostly in DR but can be up to 50-60 % in good days or when im not with other people, or in the start of the morning.

Ah I have constant dp dr, but Its getting a bit better I hope. I had lost all hope before, but this gives me a little hope so far. The issue is im going to work in a social work setting soon and its going to be very debilitating.
