Depersonlization/Derealization for 1 year !

Title says it all, 1 year 24:7 I've felt drunk, drugged, confused, weird vision, No concentration , bad memory and extreme fatigue.

I now live a "f*** it" lifestyle and don't fear this cr*p anymore, yet it stays with me constantly. My Escitaloapam does nothing, my doctors and specialists have given up on me, and I don't know what to do anymore ?

I literally don't have ANY anxiety symptoms at all, am not scared of anything now and yet my spaced out dream world stays with me 24/7, I genuinely think I have some sort of brain damage as it never gets any better.

Can someone clarify if there is actually any hope left, as it NEVER goes and I live in my own dream world where everything is so messed up like I'm on acid.

    No swear words with or without  little stars please.

    You need to talk again with your GP if you are living a different existance to the one you have here. It is great that you have managed to be able to control your Anxiety.

    Your GP has decided there is no brain damage and if this is the case, what are you taking, could some medications or drugs that is all I can think of.

    You could try the NHS Helpline although I feel they may suggest your GP or CPN for a course of treatment.

      Sorry if I offended you, but offending someone by posting a blanked out word to be polite on a forum is the least of my worries right now.

      I've tried everything with my GP, people don't seem to understand when I say the NHS only care if your alive or dead, if your living suffering they don't (well every single specialist I've seen) actually care about your quality of life. As long as your fine on paper your fine in there opinion.all everyone does is par me off by making me take Escitalopram.

      Thanks for your reply.

      To use a blanked of swear word, takes more time than to think up a word that is not a swear word. 

      The condition you are suffering is down to anxiety and I can actually suggest is go back to talk to your GP and report the drug and its possible side effects.

      The NHS I suppose looks after the living and an Undertaker looks after the dead

      I have a Chronic Condition with a Reactive Depression and I understand more than most, if you are suffering problems with your condition and medication you need to report that medication and an alternative type or similar medication will be given.

      The situation you are suffering therefore needs someone to look into your problem. Ask for a Second Opinion in your Practice.

      In my case it two years to sort out medications so I was able to get on with my Life. Talk to your Practice and if many with this complaint report same the NHS will yellow or red card the drug and it may be withdrawn.

      Talk again with your GP
