Derealization

[janesix]

I am wondering if any schizophrenics (or others) have problems with derealization.

I have been experiencing this symptom for a few months and I am having trouble coping with it.

Any suggestions on how to cope? Or even make it go away?

I suggest talking to your doctor or psychiatrist about either modifying the dosage or changing/adding a medication, this should not be happening.

Yes we've been discussing clozapine, which is for treatment resistant scizophrenia

Hello janesix,

Have you tried the clozapine? I also suffer from derealization and no medication works. So I am curious to know whether the clozapine worked for you. Could you let me know whether it worked for you? And have you tried any other antipsychotic before trying clozapine? Did any of those work a bit for you?

Hope you will respond! Thank you in advance.
