I've had the problem for years although its more depersonalization in the sense that its more me thats not me rather than the world around me thats not real. It makes me fells as if I'm about a foot behind myself ... a little higher as well and I'm watching an automaton go about ... rather than crontrolling it.
Seroquel killed it but it also made me a zombie so I stopped taking it. What seems to help me is when an episode is about to start or if I feel as though its about to start I just grab something : a ball, a pen, a book, my desk, whatever ... and I squeeze it really hard ... until the muscles in my hand hurt. The pain sort of keeps me there and its not as dangerous as SI,
