[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 378993, member: 1550"] I had depersonalizatin and derealization (they are both the worst symptoms I have ever had). For me, it went away and I'll tell you what happened in my case (realizing that everyone is different). First of all, any depression in me brought on depersonalization and derealization. The derealization made me afraid to go outside. I would be afraid of trees, of the sky, of the grass...everything seemed so disconnected from everything else. I panicked and stayed in my room. I preferred the dark although I don't remember why. I think I felt more "real" when I didn't have to see the world, which seemed so far from me. Then there was the depersonalization. You feel like you are in a dream ALL THE TIME. I used to scare myself more by asking myself, "How do I k now I'm real? How do I know this is really happening?" I was told, in an excellent teaching hospital, that this is an anxiety symptom that will go away when my depression did. That was sort of true. The one medication that REALLY helped the depersonalization for me was Valium and now Clonazapan. Nothing else did any good. Also, TOO MANY medications made the depersonalization come back REAL bad. I'd feel drugged and spacy and unreal, which is exactly how you feel when you have depersonalization. If I used any therapy, I'd try cognitive behavioral therapy or, better yet, dialectal behavoral therapy. I would wonder if any of his medications are causing the symptoms. Maybe they're not supposed to...but any drug can. I don't know if this did any good, but it's my story. I have really had a lot of mental health problems in my life and this, unfortunately, was one of them and the absolute worst. (((Hugs))). There is hope. [/QUOTE]
