I have been having these weird feelings as well for about a month and a half...it started after I had a panic attack while smoking marijuana...I have been neurotic my whole life basically and have always been a bit of a worrier and I was only an occasional pot smoker...I went to see the doctor because it felt like I was still high after a few days and I was getting worried...I was given 0.5 mg of Klonazepam, which helped, but after reading about the addictive quality of it I decided to stop taking it...I have been on Lexapro for about 4 weeks now and it seems to really be helping with the feelings of DP...before I was even too afraid to drive, now I am driving to class everyday and I have stopped being constantly afraid, even though when I have nothing to keep me busy my mind always wanders...another problem I still have is with my dreams...it sounds strange, but my dreams seem more real than reality sometimes and my mind tends to wander back to the vivid images I have in my dreams...recently my pdoc has started me off on 2.5 mgs of abilify, a major tranquilizer that she says might stop my rapid and negative thoughts...after only four days or so of taking it, it seems to be working, if only just a tad bit...hang in there everyone, I'll be thinking about all of you
