I don't think schizophrenia is necessarily the answer here- we know so little to start throwing that one around.Have you had a traumatic experience recently or been on a new medicine?
I had dp/dr for about one month- it was NOOO fun. It was so weird.. I hated it and I found it very hard to describe to other people. The only way I could describe it was the way you feel when you have a high fever... just very "surreal" weird "head fog" floaty feeling. ACK. It's horrific.
I'm praying for you right now.
I have read that Lamictal and Wellbutrin are two drugs specifically that can help with depersonalization. It makes sense that a stimulant would help since the feeling is kind of like a "dreamy" downer state.
The weird part for me was that I had that dp/dr stuff with intense anxiety- so a stimulant would've sent me over the edge even worse.
I will pray you find relief soon! I remember how awful it felt and how hard it was to describe.
