lithium mixed with a benzo could treat this....also propranolol will block the fight or flight response by blocking noradrenaline
my own view: sometimes a low dose stimulant with a benzo can relieve the de-realization - stimulant/barbiturate combinations back in the older generation was to help depression with anxiety......obviously they took all stimulant/barbiturate medications off the market,
I've had de-realization and dissociation for 2 years, it first happened in 2004, I was just driving around and everything seemed like a dream - it was really scary and I felt disconnected from reality - but also I was on Wellbutrin and for reason it made it worse - then in 2008-09 I had it again, disconnecting and feeling I was the only person on the planet - and the reason I'm saying a low dose stimulant with a benzo is it helped some with it during that period, I was on Dexedrine and Xanax and I took them together, it stopped depression and anxiety and made me feel back down to earth
talk with your doctor about your symptoms, see if you can find a good treatment to work with
