i wanted to see if anyone suffered from Depersonalization. I went cold turkey off my meds and after about a month or two and a heavy night of drinking I haven't felt the same. Feel like I am a dream. Days are flying by. Memory issues. Feeling spaced out. Not in familiar with surroundings. I was diagnosed with extreme anxiety and out back on my Citalopram 40mg. It has been about 1 week on the 40 and was on 20mg for about 2 weeks before. Will this feeling ever go away. I see people suffer from it for years and there is no way I can deal with this that long. It if effecting my work friendships and relationship. Feeling like this causes me anxiety and anxiety is causing Depersonalization. It's a nasty cycle and have never experienced it. 

Thanks in advance

    Hello Yadeed, this is my first post @ this site.  Not totally sure how I got here but, i have similar goings on.  w/o lovely Google what is Depersonalization?  On the surface it sounds like; a detactment from a world once attached to.  Or something similar to that.  My mind fingers attachment is so bad I fear people cannot understand what I write.  Or if it would make a difference anyway.  The only people I talk to are my wife, doctors and other healthcare people.  For some reason I feel my healthcare providers are at such a sad disadvantage to grasp my perspective of things, and just might not care to boot.  I'm the only one here.   I think there was a question in there somewhere.  Peace, Paul
