Hi everyone,


It's been a while without an update, and that's just because nothing has been new untill today.


Today I got prescribed 5 mg of Lexapro (Escitalopram, An SSRI anti anxiety medication)


So I had to go to a different doctor to get this prescription, because my therapist is a psychologist and cannot prescribe. The doctor I saw was really mean in my opinion, when I asked him about depersonalization and if this medication can help with it he sorta avoided the question and basically said he doesent know...



He seemed to have SOME (not a lot) knowledge about depersonalization, but the vibe I got from him was that "DP Isn't really that bad, and it will just fade away naturally once you eat healthy"... WRONG.


That's not the case. Depersonalization is a very complex condition that CAN be helped with medications like SSRI's, but hey what do I know?




So I'll let you guys know how the medication does. Just because I don't like the doctor is not gonna stop me from trying it. I'm basically just trying and reporting back to my therapist everything that happens.



Let me know what you think! (All your feedback helps SO much)
