I'm so sorry for what you and your daughter are going throug. I wish I could talk to her. Don't be affraid of her future, she will be fine.
I developed horrible dp/dr about 2.5 yrs ago. I've tried several ssris w/o results. I recently weaned myself off of LEXAPRO almost 2 months ago. I haven't felt this well since it all started. I do believe that the meds increased this feeling, if not caused it. Feeling anxious, I tried Effexor for a couple days (couple weeks ago), and the feelings came back.
Ask her if she has any psyical symptoms. These can be related to thyroid problems, and chronic migraines. The migraines don't have to be classical (extreme pain), but odd feeling in head, tension, visual disturbances.
I had 3 neurologists tell me that's what I have. I didn't believe them at first, but after 2 yrs of dp I was up for anything. I being treated for them, and I'm improving everyday.
I wish you the best of luck.
