I've posted here before about this...but I'm seeking additional input. Is anyone here taking a good combo. of meds. that has totally eleviated their anxiety/depression? Surely those who have had success are still posting to encourage and help the rest of us....:)
One of my anxiety symptoms is a spacey feeling...I've heard from someone here (wish I could remember their name because they were sooo very helpful) that an SSRI plus Benzo. combo. will get rid of this symptom. Any other input...
Right now I'm taking 40mg. Fluoxetine,.25mg Klonopin, 1200mg Magnesium, B-Complex, Flaxseed Oil, L-Theanine, Digestive aide, Acidophilus and Ginger. The anxiety is gone, but the depression and spacey feeling are still lingering...God Bless

Hi,
It could have been me who mentioned that Celexa (40-60mg) + Klonopin (2-4mg) is often used to treat depersonalization (spacey, unreal, surreal feelings).
Peace

Yes, it was you Falconman!!! Thanks so much. I'm not taking Celexa, but I've bumped my Fluoxetine up to 40mg and I can tell some improvement after only two days. I'm still playing around with the Klonopin. About how long with this combo. did it take before you noticed drastic improvement? I pray for you to be totally free from derealization. It can happen!
God Bless

Hi,
2 combos actually worked very well for me, but they were at different periods of my life (considering situational events, etc.)
#1-Effexor and Ativan: helped depression, no weight gain, helped anxiety and sleep.
#2-Celexa, Lamictal, Klonopin: No weight gain, helped depression tremendously, and slept, no social anxiety, etc.
*Also, Seroquel has done wonders for me for sleep BUT I have gained 60 on it:-( I am not psychotic I was given it for sleep.
hope this helped and all the best,
kristen
PS Can you please tell me what your experience has been with Flaxseed Oil?? I am reading A LOT about the great benefits of taking it. Is it different than the Omegga 3 Fatty Acids Oils?thanks:0)
take care

Hi,
The combo I mentioned has worked well for many people with depersonalization. It is the first line of attack used at the depersonalization research unit (Kings college London), where I was receiving treatment. However I've stopped taking celexa now as it didn't help me significantly. I still take Klonopin, this is about the only thing thats helped. I felt some relief after taking this right away.
Peace
