Thanks, John. Naltrexone does indeed look interesting, especially as it's the subject of studies related to depersonalization at Mt. Sinai in New York. The discouraging note comes from fellow dp sufferers at the dpselfhelp site, none of whom have had success with it. As for Zyprexa, I'm concerned about what it would do to my already sky-high insulin levels - hyperinsulinism is the step just before diabetes. Right now I'm still titrating up on the lamictal - I want to give it a month at 300 mg. to really assess if there's a change in my dp. If no change, there are a number of things I want to try. What I'd really like is something that boosts dopamine but not noradrenaline or norepinephrine - something that clears my head without making me irritable and anxious.
Again, thanks a lot for your interest. I always read your posts on the board - I think of you as a neuronaut, venturing into neurochemical pathways where lesser men fear to tread. :)
yours, Jane
