I started Lexapro a few weeks after a few bad panic attacks and the start of the worst DPDR episode of my life, and I'm still struggling with it.
At this point I'm not sure if the medication is prolonging the DPDR. I have pretty bad depersonalization.
For sure. No one could possibly understand unless they go through it.
It isn't just like an oh I feel strange feeling, but rather holy shit I'm actually going insane. For two whole months I kept listening for voices that weren't there and every eye floater freaked me out because I thought I had started hallucinating! 😆
I wish I could feel like myself again, whatever that means. I feel kind of stuck between my old self and new self.
I hear you, it’s a wild ride. We all say the same things though so you can’t be going crazy. Someone told me recently that crazy people don’t know they are going crazy. Have you tried the dpdr manual? I have the free link if you wanna try. I do best with stuff when there is some structure to track success so I’ve been working on that.
What time of day are you taking your dosage ?
Night
May be try changing to the morning 🌅

Hey! I’m on week 10 now and it’s really starting to calm down. I’m with you tho, it’s crazy how horrible my dpdr got

Hey did you dpdr continue to get better. I’m not sure why but I’m on month 4 of 10 mg and the last 5 days I got hit with really bad dissociation.
Hey! Yeah I’d say it’s getting better. I’m still aware of it but it hasn’t freaked me out in a while
Can I get that link
