Hi,

I am sorry you are still struggling with this issue.

I do not think a benzo is ideal for D/P D/R, as there is a chance this class of medication could actually increase unreal feelings both in the short and long term use.

Benzodiazepines are better used for treatment of panic attacks.

Were you able to access the self help that I recommended in your last post?

Have you talked to your doctor about your best options?

Yes, I have dealt with D/P D/R as a transient symptom of anxiety. It used to bother me at first. However, with practice, I have pretty well learn to accept it, and find relief with coping skills.

Do you see a GP regarding your anxiety management? You may want to consider asking for a referral to a psychiatrist...in order to work with a doctor who knows about the issues you are dealing with...and the appropriate treatment options.

Here is the link to our Resources. Inside you'll find links for general anxiety management tips/tools...as well as the pages specific to D/P D/R self help.

Hopefully you can get started on these right away...and see if getting into see a P-doc is a possibility for you.

Keep posting...we'll be here to encourage you.
