Hi Tealady, just to say that I found by accident l-tyrosine useful for the same purpose you mentioned. I didn't realize my problem could be 'derealization' but since I started Parnate and Trifluoperazine about one month ago (I quit them after five or six days) what I'm experiencing fits very well with this disturb. Is it an anxiety disorder ? I'm asking because I don't feel anxious just confused, and sometimes I have period of blank mind, never mind where I am or what I'm doing. It's awful because I've never been had this kind of sensation, it's the first time in my life, and the only thing that can explain it are my recent (short) trials of meds.
I have now short memory problems too and language problems. All of this syntoms are brand new to me, my dx was bipolar II and/or adhd, now it seems like I have Alzhemeir disease !!!
My psychiatris told me to take Xanax until the appointment but I can't see his point.
Anyway, yesterday I take L-Tyrosine and I find myself feeling emotions again and being able to have a long conversation with a friend which I've been unable of in the last one month or so. Don't know what is happening but L-Tyrosine seems to help.
