[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 588994, member: 1550"] I don't understand SSRIs for depersonaliztion/derealization. Many times SSRIs make people MORE nervous...they are not necessarily calming, although if he is lucky and hits the right one immediately, they could be. They do take up to six weeks for full effect. But, frankly, a few have made me extra nervous and Sonic and Julie as well so keep a close eye on him and believe him if he says he is even more jittery. I don't like him being forced to take anything, and, yes, I understand feeling like a failure since he was prescribed medications, although it really doesn't make much sense. If he had diabetes he would take the insulin and not feel badly. But I was like your son. The first time I had to just see a psychiatrist I thought, "That's it. I knew it. I'm crazy." And it took a while to wear off. I wish him all the best. I am not sure what his medication is called in the US. I just hope it helps him. [/QUOTE]
