I have been diagnosed with gad, depression and depersonlization .i feel like i am stoned all the time like living in a dream 24/7.I have been like THIS for many years . I have taken every medical test and they were fine. has anyone felt like this and recovered? i have tried many different meds over the years right now i am taking wellbutrin,paxel and klonopin with no improvement and i think my psychatrist is running out of ideas.any suggestions i could give him before he gives up? BECAUSE EVERY TIME I GO SEE HIM AND TELL HIM I STILL FEEL LIKE I AM IN A DREAM AND STILL FEEL SPACEY AND HE GIVES ME THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO LOOK THAT I HAVE MANY TIMES BEFORE OVER THE YEARS SO IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS IT WOULD BE VERY HELP FULL THANK YOU
You know, this might sound crazy but I have had the exact same thing..exactly!! I know its scary and I know it seems like there is no one out there, but anxiety can be cured man and its all up to you. you have to take charge of your life and not let anxiety control you. all you have to do is get rid of your anxiety and the whole spaciness feeling will go away. I have had it for about 4 months now, but it is constantly getting better, here try this. Go to the gym, swim and walk for a lil bit and then sit in the steam room. The next day you will feel a whole lot better. I know what you probably said, "I dont have a stresful life I dont do anything" I didnt either man Im a musician haha. the only thing you have to remember is that this takes time but it will go away :-)
NIK16 THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY I HAVE TRIED ALOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS WALKING, TENNIS I GOT ALOT OF EXERCISE RUNNING AFTER THE BALL WAS NOT VERY GOOD . ALOT OF DIFFERENT DOCTORS EVEN A SLEEP CLINIC NOTHING HAS EVER HELPED I WAS A MUSICIAN JUST JAMMING WITH FRIENDS FOR FUN .SOME YEARS AGO AND I THINK I GOT THIS WAY FROM SMOKING POT.I WAS ALWAYS A NERVOUS TYPE EVEN WHEN I WAS YOUNGER IN GRADE SCHOOL
Do you have depression at all? The reason why I ask is because a low level of serotonin has been known to cause these types of reactions in people.
yes i have been diagnosed with depression gad and deperonalization i have been on many anti depressants and combinations of them too nothing has worked my psychiatrist put me on paxil wellbutrin and klonopin i guess he has to try something different i fell no effects of these meds not even side effects
Have you ever tried a program called the Linden Method? I hear that it can produce good results I havn't tried it personally.
yes i have heard of it . but never tried it
Well maybe it's worth a try, I mean it seems o me like you've tried everything else.
have u tried getting off the medication completely? I say this because i have anxiety problems and when I started to take xanax, although it helped my anxiety, it made me even more depersonalized and giving me that dream like state, not to mention also making my memory worse...
so i stopped taking it, and now i still ahve anxiety, but i do not suffer from depersonalization, and i'd rather have the anxiety because dp/dr sucks ass... i dont like feeling like a emotionless zombie like robot that has no idea what happened yesterday or comprehend much...

i was off medication for a long time and still had the spaciness 24/7.being on meds make me feel no different i am also in therapy still no change yesterday i saw my therapist told him its like throwing money out the window
Try this, dedicate 3 weeks of your life to your body, just eat super healthy do nothing stresful and get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, 6 glasses of water a day and at least 8 hours of sleep. who knows maybe after the end of the 3 weeks you will feel born again :-)
Good advice. Another thing you can try is possitive self-talk. Tell yourself that you refuse to feel that way. It helps. I dont have much experience with the spacey and depersonalization but I think you will be just fine. Dont give up.
any of you guys get the sore throut feeling that wont go away i think i might have gad since i could be very irritable sometimes and i have repited actions that i cant quit doing i used to be a pothead too did it for 3 years my sore throut seems to get worst when i smoke weed the reason why i quit i had my sore throut since 4-20 since i smoked a huge amount i dont remember how much but lets just say i did it all day please i need some answers i never felt like i needed so much help in my life before please answers
First of describe exactly how you are feeling, I mean exactly, even if it's embarassing a lil because in order to get help fully, others have to know exactly whats wrong.

I have the same thing for a year now 24-7 and I can totally relate with you.
I have been on all of the meds too. I am on klonopin and wellbutrin too and it is not working either
I can't work anymore
One thing though when I get out of the house with my husband and go places the dizziness does get better. Maybe you can try that. If you found something that works for you please let me know
thanks
