I'm glad you responded so quickly to my post. Klonopin made me too sleepy I recall. Ir's just a good drug to take for quick relief and to get back on track. I only take 1-2mg of klonopin but I haven't had a problem with derealization for so long that I can stop it without a relapse. Unfortunately my body is so used to having it that I get other symptoms of anxiety. I'm probably somewhat hooked on it. When derealization was at it's worst I took about 5mg a day until I got on Luvox or Ritalin.
I take about 2tablespoons of Made from the sun brand (I'm not sure about the name) Just go to www.Iherb.com It's the 8oz. bottle cost $7.00
Or if you have the money you can go to www.Omegabrite.com and swallow about 6 capsules a day of thier product. You have to give it time and take the dose everyday for a couple months.
I take 60mg. of Nardil a day and 10mg of Ritalin.
One way to reduce the dosage of Klonopin is to take it with a good AD like Luvox, Mirapex, This can also cancel out the sedation effect of Klonopin as well.
Mirapex was pretty effective. Each dose increase causes nausea for a few days. This is a really good AD except for sudden sleep attacks! Carefull driving! You can take from .025 up to 5mg but slowly increase. It's best if you can take a mild stimulant such as Ritalin or Cylert(Pemoline)with mirapex.
Derealization started when I was a teenager and experimented with pot. Ther was so much of it around me when I was young it was almost impossible to escape it. Pot caused instant derealization but went away when it wore off.
I guess I've been dealing with this for about 35years
I'll keep you in my prayers
