Yes that describes very well alot of my symtoms I had as a teen when it first happened. I experienced this 1st with marijuana and then later when someone slipped me some acid. It was awful. What I found out later was that I was suffering from Post traumatic stress disorder. I got on Nardil (an MAOI antidepressant), and started therapy. I did not realize for a long time that what I had was PTSD. Do not give up hope. I am 47 and rarely feel DP however when I do, it does not freak me out. Part of what keeps us hooked into feeling that way is the anticipatory anxiety and the terror that it will never end. You need to work with the doctors to try different meds until you find something that works for you and maybe start therapy. You really aren't alone, I promise.
