It seems like Im always going to keep trying new drugs to try to wake up from this dream.
Has anyone been cured of depersonilization/ derealization or know someone who has to give me some hope?
Thanks...

hi marcella

i'm about 95% better these days. my advice would be to decide on a particular med or combo if needed and then give it time.

zoloft's an ssri and it has helped me alot. as i said though it was nasty to get onto for me and i had to see through a hellish couple of months before i felt any benefits. is lexapro an ssri?

serious poison. stay away from meds seriously..give yourself 2 years with good sleep, good food, exercise, and no alcohol/cigs, and I bet you feel a whole lot better

i used to think they were poision too, but i need something, i've been taking celexa but it hasn't helped me. i just want something to help me. maybe i can find something to help me a little then not take any medicine at all. if there was good safe medicine to treat and maybe cure dp we would all be taking it. i just want to be cured, and i think w/o any meds i might get so frustrated and do something i normally wouldn't do otherwise like hurt myself or hurt someone else. i know i shouldn't hurt other people, but i have a lot of built in anger, and sometimes i don't know what to do. i'm kind of scared to think what would happen if i get all my emotions back, if i would be mad, but i can't be mad at anyone if i feel real. and i don't feel real at all. i used to be as real as it gets. like a big time realest, but i just feel fake at all the time. i feel like i'm made of air.

an ssri is an anti depressant like prozac. they are poison but i didn't have any choice but to get on one. natural alternatives are 5htp and st. johns wort. omega 3 is meant to help depression; vit b anxiety. valerian root (a herb) can also help with anxiety.

All I have been taking has been flax seed oil (omega-3) and it seems to have helped a lot. For some reason, my panic attacks caused from DR disappeared when I was taking flax seed oil. I've stopped using it and it's gotten a little worse. It's still good to take it regardless for your general health.

Hi,

I'm having good experiences with cognitive therapy. It helps on my anxiety, and also seem to have a positive effect on derealization.

Also, eating healthy and getting some exercise each each day is a good idea.

Finally, Clonazepam may bring some relief to the symptoms, but, again be careful, and it's NOT a cure!
