> Hi,
>
> My name is Cynthia, I am 30, from Canada, and I suffer from Dp/DR since the birth of my child. Since then, I feel not myself, not there, I feel like I am besides reality, I see like in 2-D, in fact, like if I took pot. My perception has changed. I have time lapses (dissociation), and I always feel like I missed some hours, minutes of my day, even when I change from a place to another. It's like if I have mini loss of consciousness and I wake up all confused. It happens a lot eahc day, but nobody can see this. But I feel very very afraid. Like if I will go crazy.
>
> Also, I have memory troubles, I do something and when I remember it, it's like I vaguely remember it's me who did that. I feel like it was not me but I know it's me!!! I can just take a walk, and go back home, and not being hyper aware that I took walk, etc.
>
> I am depressed and diagnosed depressive, with anxiety and dp/dr, and trauma. I see a psychiatrist, I tried ALL ssri's who make it worse. I tried a lot of benzos too. I am on klonopin, each day since 2 years, and it doesn't help anymore. I saw psychologists too.

> I had an EEG, MRI, showed only a slight disrythmia. They said it was caused by stress. I had a cortisol test, it was a little bit over the normal.

> CynthiaIn my experience, NARDIL and XANAX helped TREMENDOUSLY....and they took away the phobic anxiety assoxiated with my derealization....
Try them!!!

PS- if they don't work give Anafranil a shot...
Forget all the SSRI's.
