Is there a cure for depersonalization (thats not caused by marijuana)
I need help with depersonalization. I have had small amounts of anxiety ever since I was a kid. It was never bad though. It wasnt until I swam competitively for a few years that it started to get bad. I started having depersonalization once in a while like once a month. Then it kept coming more often until one day I woke up and felt super weird and like I was watching myself through a camera like those movies that are in first person. I was 11 years old. It was during a swim competition and I had my first panic attack that day. after that I was diagnosed with Generalized anxiety disorder as well as panic disorder and depersonalization disorder. I was given Zoloft. I was able to get rid of all my anxiety within four months of combining meditation and hypnosis and Zoloft. I was able to get off of the Zoloft within that year and I was perfectly fine for the next few years. In 2021, I got the Covid Vaccine. Which now I realize was a huge mistake considering the ingredients in the shot are horrible for your body like graphine oxide which causes blood clots. I was fine after but I was having difficulty with performance anxiety and right before my race, I would have huge depersonalization and my face and body would start tingling. But outside of competition, I was still completely fine. However, In late 2021 I started taking accutane which is a drug for acne. I took the smallest dose available which is very well tolerated and I only took 1 pill every other day. After a few pills, I started having panic attacks, depersonalization, and huge amounts of anxiety. I havent had panic attacks for years until then. It came back but much worse. I started having tremors (which I never had the first time I had anxiety) and huge depersonalization and panic attacks to the point that I couldnt leave the house. I was so confused because I was taking such a small amount of Accutane so I didnt know how it was possible to make my anxiety to come back. I went back on medication and started taking Lexapro. It got a little better at first but then my anxiety started to get worse. I have tried meditation which worked for me before, it didnt work. Ive tried exercises for the vagus nerve to help, it didnt work either. Nothing has been able to work even though I have tried practically everything except for homeopathy and psilocybin. Fast forward to today, Im 18 and I dont really have panic attacks but I still have depersonalization every day and its a scary experience. I have tried so much, Im not sure what else I can do. Can someone please recommend me homeopathics for depersonalization? I know for many people it started with Marijuana use but mine started out of nowhere due to anxiety. Please reply if you see this.Uersurtoi on 2023-09-28

Fyi, Zoloft and Lexapro dont actually provide a cure; they simply alleviate the symptoms and may temporarily mask the underlying condition. Which can sometimes complicate the process of finding a cure.

Arrange Silicea 30c and Puls 6c.
Begin with a single dose of Silicea 30 before bedtime, without repeating it. keep me informed of any developments.
Dosing: see my profile

Thank you. I will get some. Do you think I should get Nux Vomica as well? Ive heard that one works for depersonalization too.

Hi, are you still on Accutane? If so, it needs to be stopped. Homeopathy will address all your issues, including skin.
♡ simone717 6 months ago
no I stopped accutane the minute it gave me panic attacks.

hello. I have taken the silicea and the Pulsatilla for 2 days now and no difference. My depersonalization is the same. Maybe I need to take a higher dose?

If you take a moment to review my instructions, which I believe you havent done, I explicitly advised taking a single dose of Silicea 30 without any repetitions, not both. Additionally, I requested that you keep me informed of any developments.
Ziomih 6 months ago
Try single dose of Nux Vomica 200c in the evening.
