·What's with the self-destructive posts all the time?
Happy and completely recovered. Both from my HPPD and DR.

Call me a fool, but I see all of us feeling better in 5 years. 10 years, tops. I don't think the research is all that far off, now that the parts of the brain that are f*cked up have been identified. We may start out with some crappy med that gets rid of DP/DR but causes, I dunno, chronic flatulence or something like that. Still, I don't think it'll be that long before we see ads on TV saying "Ask your doctor if Reali-tor is right for you".
P.S. I know the dispair Imagine feels; I used to tell people that I thought I'd be dead soon as well. I think I thought that if I sounded serious enough, someone would have to come up with a cure somehow. Imagine, have you tried Lamotrigine yet? If you did and it failed, did you try a different SSRI before giving up on it? How about naltrexone? Might as well give it a shot. Hope I don't sound like I'm lecturing (though I probably am old enough to be your dad).

·Or how about calling a veto on all medication, full-stop.
God, those stupid doctors and their damned rash fear! 3-in-1000 chance of getting that reaction, and you can stop taking the stuff at the first bad sign and no harm is done, esp. if you start slowly. Why their big fear? And why his hesitation to give you more meds. It's like "Here, I'll give you three that don't help, but don't go asking for a forth even if the combination is a cure." WTF???
Don't get me wrong, I'd love nothing more than to be DR-free without the aid of pills. I'm not trying to get you to over-medicate yourself. This is something that most of would do ANYTHING to get rid of, though, and what else is there besides pills? Nothing that I've found so far.
You're only 17? Jeez, I'm practically to old to be your dad.

This is where I see my self in 5 years.
Finished with school, with a good stable job.
Own a house somewhere with a garage.
I want to import a Ford Escort MKII from the UK. Preferably a right drive model.
If I can swing it I would like to bring over a Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth 4x4.
If can't pull off either of those I plan to buy a Merkur XR4Ti, restore it and rechristen it with its proper name, Ford Sierra.
I would like to run a couple of rallyes a year.
I would also like to be in a fairly committed relationship.
I would like to go to Germany and drive on the Autobahn.
I would also like to visit France. Not Paris though. I want to see rural France.
It is alot to do but I know I can do it. Especially if I can get past the dp. Which now that I know what it is I can work through it and beat it.

·Not sure yet..hopefully back @ HOME! :shock:
In a mental hospital.
Or, after dropping out of college, moving back in with my parents and living out the rest of my life in quiet desperation.
I hope I get better. How does one get better...I can spend the next three hours contemplating the surreality of my hand. Or I can go back to the TV and try to numb myself to my inexistance long enough to feel tired and then fall asleep.

·my guess is a little more in control though
You make it sound like thats soon. I dont know about you but 5 or 10 years seems like a hell of a long time to suffer from this sh*t and try and be optomistic about it getting better. I mean Ive only had it two years and im already tired and hopeless from it.Tom Servo said:
I vote the same way I am now. If not dead.
