OK guys thanks for your descriptions.
I know my tranzient zombie states are not related to my antipsychotic use because I have been having them for ten years and I have only recently started on antipsychotics.
I'll give it a shot at describing my zombie:
My zombie can seem to come about out of the blue. It is not related to anxiety. I will go days with having only DP/DR (which I describe not as feeling like a zombie but more as feeling drugged and drunk) and then the zombie will appear. When the zombie hits it is like a part of my brain has descided to switch off or take a vacation. I feel flat and have a strong urge to lie in bed and do nothing, maybe drift off to sleep. I feel half asleep and notably mentally exhausted. As britters602 wrote, when I am in this state I too feel like moving and speaking require energy I don't have. I feel like I need a shot of caffeine to pick me out of this state but it doesn't help when I drink coffee.
