> I am on lexapro now too. I was the one that had the derealization for 24/7. I take 20mg. of lex and still have toi take .5 mgs of klonopin. At least I am down to a small amount of the klonopin.

I have a problem taking nutrients since my esopaghus has narrowed down to only less than 1/2 inches at the bottom part and I can't swallow pills - haven't been able to since middle of April.
I melt and drink down my Klonopin.
I have tried different anti-seizure meds with disasterous results so no, I can't take another one. Each time I tried a new one, it would make my central nervous system even worse and weirder!!!
Right now I am counting on nothiing but prayer to get me through this and all of my medical problems since I can't have any procedures done (too allergic to the drugs used) to dilate my esophagus and like I said, I am too allergic to try any new medications.
When you went through de-realization, did you feel like you were whirling around all the time,
did you have ravenous hunger all the time even when dizzy, and did you laugh hysterically for no reason? These are some of my symptoms.Thanks so much for your reply!!!
God bless!
Warmly,
Martha
