Without going into details i endured a less than healthy childhood emerging with many defense mechanisms that have taken years to settle, some of which i still cannot. The main concern of those being my nature to dissociate or detach. I simply dissapear. Initially it occured to protect myself during certain situations growing up, but upon entering adulthood it seems to have become a constant state of being, the severity seemingly random. I have been diagnosed with a range of mental disorders ranging from bipolar to ptsd, to schizoaffective. Frankly i dont give a sh*t about the label, only the symptoms. I am currently prescribed 200mg Lamictal, 400mg Seroquil, 40mg propanolol for anxiety because i cannot take my usually prescribed kolonopin for drug abuse reasons. Lamictal produces a noticable effect on my detachment for the better, though only a little, but not the seroquil though it does help with mood stability. This is a bit of a long post and those who have read it i appreciate your patience. If you have any experience with medications that might help with this i would be forever grateful. I talk to my psyc about this and he just looks at me with a blank stare waiting for me to come up with a suggestion of meds.
