In reply to derealization, posted by Edgefield on April 29, 2003, at 16:50:38
I guarantee it he will deliver! I had derealization really severe. now it's totally gone. For me these are the meds that helped me that you might want to consider: Klonopin, Nardil, Fish oil, Ritalin. (This is what I'm on now) You may also find relief with: Luvox (or other ssri's) Mirapex (Dopamine agonist) And others. when I think of them I will post more. My derealization was so freaky and weird I was afraid to talk about it much less think about it. It gave me such bad panic that my guts would wrench and turn. I thought the only thing that would help me was an AP.
Ativan seemed to increase my derealization. Why, I don't know. It should not have, since it is a benzo similar to klonopin. Perhaps it's because of Klonopin's anti-seizure properties? I often wonder if derealization is caused by a stress induced seizure?
My derealization peaked at it's worst when I took Temazepam(Halcion), a sleeping pill benzo.
Yet, the fastest relief I found was with Klonopin. Go figure! Now I can get by without Klonopin. and pretty much just use the Nardil/Fish oil.
Hang in there! Help is on the way!!
