In reply to Depersonalization/Derealization, posted by SJ on February 18, 2004, at 7:14:34
Derealization began when I had my first panic attack. It is a spacey, hangover, feeling as if you're still walking around asleep. If you have ever suddenly jumped out of bed after being sound asleep you probably felt spacey for a moment until you were totally awake. That initial feeling would best describe how I felt.
The spacey feeling became worst when I took Zoloft, Prozac, and Lexapro. Wellbutrin has been the only med. to help me about 90% with that feeling. Needless to say I would rather not take anymore SSRIs.
This feeling might subside for your daughter...in my case after several months this was not the case.
God Bless

> What is depersonalization/derealization? Can someone who has experienced this tell me what it feels like? My 10 year old daughter is currently on Lexapro for anxiety. She's been describing some things to me that are out of the ordinary for her and I'm wondering if this is something I need to worry about? Any help you can send this way would be appreciated.
