Hello been experiencing much DP/DR lately . Anyone tried any medication that have worked for them to relieve it ? My anxiety hasn't been so bad lately . The only thing that triggers me some anxiety is the DPDR sadly . Wanted to see if anyone has had success through medication or anything else.
Hi eduardo66456,
I have been having this for the past almost month and it is such an ugly feeling. I feel very much like I'm in a dream and nothing is real. Time goes by so slow and I become very distoriented like I forget where I'm walking or where I am. I'm zoning out a lot and it all seems so nasty. Is this what your experiencing too? If it is and if it's not just know you're not alone
Yea basically for 3 months it's the worst '!!!
So sorry you're going through this. It truly is awful. Are you taking any medication for it?
It really is ! Ruins daily life for someone no not yet I'm debating it how bout you?
It ruins mine every single day. I try to think and pretend it's not there but it is. That's when it gets worse. I'm on the lowest dosage of Lexapro. I find if I stay on it longer than maybe it will help me more. I was only on it for four days so I didn't give it a chance. I had to power through the side effects.
Are your symptoms 24/7 too? Mine are yea usually you're suppose to be on medication for a couple of weeks before it kicks in
Mine are 24/7. From the moment I wake up to the time I go to bed. I am terrified I don't even want to get out of bed. I feel so disoriented. Like everything if a dream
My symptoms also last 24/7. I'm feeling everything is so unreal that all I want to do is sleep. I feel like I could go to sleep at any given moment or that I already am asleep in a dream. I have faith it will all get better for us though.
Hopefully ! Does it give you any breaks at all?
Same here it's so annoying ! I can't even enjoy being outside my room without it getting annoying . ;/ have you tried anything for it ?
I'm on quetiepine but I still hav dr/dp for 20 yrs now.
Would changing to another anti psychotic help?
Sorry Eduardo didn't intend to ambush ur post.
20 years????? Has it been off and on ? I'm not sure regarding medication TBH I haven't taken none
When I do get breaks from it I become so overly exhausted and feel I'm going to fall asleep at any given moment. It's so scary.
20 years constant but I always have hope.
I messed around with weed skunk so really wasn't helping my cause unbeknownst to me at the time.
Are you at least able to function ? I dont want to think about this long term ....
yea many drugs or weed can bring it out if it was underlying already .
I know this was addressed to Phil but I'm not able to function at all. I'm at work currently and I'm functioning but I feel like a zombie. My mind takes me where I need to go but I feel like it's so disoriented and unreal.. 😔
Yes I function. I've never allowed it to interfere with my work only when I was real bad but those days are thankfully behind me. Work takes my mind off it.
I believe the key is training ur brain to relax and I need to address the issues I had before I had the dr/dp. Cos actually the anxiety I had before when I think about it is worse than just the feeling of dr.
If I could feel confident in conversation with anyone I would feel good about myself .
Phil
