I have major depression with anxiety and I also have the derealization you're experiencing. It started after I had a panic attack back in 1993. I had all of the tests and bloodwork, but the only thing they found was a pituitary tumor which is not the cause. I was hoping it was but it isn't. Have you ever had your thyroid checked? That can make you feel anxious and depressed too. When my TSH is too high the dream like feelings are worse. The only two meds that helped me were Lexapro in 2002 and Imipramine back in 1993. Paxil helped somewhat and so did Klonopin, but they don't anymore.
What I meant by feeling insane was that the DR is very intense right now and that is what makes me feel like I'm going nuts, even though I'm not. Also, when my depression is really bad the dreamlike state is worse also. It all goes hand in hand. Meds are the only thing that took these feelings away.
