It's probably what she's describing. I have troubles with it without drug 24/7. It gets worse for me when I use SSRI's. It's a spacey feeling like nnothig around you is real. You look in the miror and it doesn't fel liek it's you. Baically you just don't feel grounded in the world we live in . There is nothing you can say to make it better. I have found klonopin to be very effective at reducing these symptoms. It is a drug that ca couse dependency, but it may help her with her start up on Lexapro. By the way I had a terrible time with it with that particular drug.
Also, even if it's a semi ectivating drug have her tae it night RIGHT before she goes to sleep. This will reduce the time in that state.
I have ben dealing with the DD/DP for about 6 years now (27 yo) and these are my tricks of the trade. All other questions are welcome.
