or depersonalization, whatever they call it. I have this problem when I am experiencing intense bouts of depression and/or anxiety. the only thing that has really helped me get away from the many shades of being "stuck inside my head" is the Klonopin. also, while not suggesting that anyone try this because it is likely to be different for you: I was very depressed and drawn into my head one night and happened to smoke some very strong marijuana. Suddenly I felt my mind connected to my body and in control of all parts of my body just as in my mind but just like you said, the side effect was panic that I had breathe my way through and just tough out. The experience gave me the idea that I was feeling like a "normal" person except for the panic aspect. i am still constantly feeling at least a slight level of detachment from the world and people around me.. with 2mg klonopin and 20mg adderall xr + 10mg dexedrine daily. I think the stims can make the problem worse at times.
so hard to figure it all out.....
