i finally got the guts to take my meds(5mg. of prozac) and i had no side effects i thought i did but i was just having a panic attack about taking the meds...my anxiety has been through the roof lately mostly just the unreality thing...for the past week i have thought i have been living in a dream and i hate it and i keep thinking that i feel this way because of the meds or that im unknowingly takin drugs and thats why i feel so wierd and dreamlike anyone else ever think that or had the dream thing for this long im sure ive asked it before but i just need some reassurance...thanx casey

hey case long time no see probably the biggest reason you can't let this derealization thing is because thats your biggest worry just keep sayin to yourself i know whats real and what isn't that was my biggest symptom for the longest becausei just couldn't stop thinking bout but i kept teling myself i know whats real i always have and slowly it finally went away i've been dereal free for about 3months now and panic free for about the same u can do it man it will get better i know i can't say stop worrying because its not that easy i understand i still worry but i just self talk bout the good things and i get through i went through the whole meds things tried like v4 different ones and told the doc they weren't for me because i did get horrible anxiety just by taking them so i said i'm gonna beat this without meds and i'm doing so as we speak in the last 2weeks i've had about 10normal days its been great you just gotta keep your head and if you think the meds are making it worse don't take them call the doc and dicusse sumthing else its your body you know whats best for it but keep your head up it wilkl pass i promise

wat up leftie glad to hear ur doin well bro that kicks ass. thanx for replying helps to hear some reassuring words im sure this shit will pass just really sucks and is mad wierd. im def not gonna take the meds i dont really like having anything like that in my system just makes me worry and have worse anxiety so i think im gonna try the root that u have taken and just say fuck off anxiety and not let it control my life it might take a while but im gonna try. Have u ever heard of the Linden Method or know anyone thats tried it cuz it sounds pretty good but i keep thinkin that if i try it its gonna brain wash me and im gonna have even worse derealization i know its stupid but i keep thinking that well take it easy bro ttyl - Casey
