i've been on 12 mg emsam for months, and while it's worked as an antidepressant, it hasn't touched my derealization, which i've been told is anxiety based. However, I ran out of the 12 mg patches last week and was using the 9mg and had a few days of complete clarity but now the derealization is back in full horrible force. Does this make sense? when i was on the 9mg ramping up to the 12 mg the derealization was there so I doubt reducing it to 9m had anything to do with it. Has anyone had this experience? Should I try reducing to 9mg? if i do will the depression return? The derealization is destroying my life; it's torture.

sometimes dereal. symptoms can be a result of trama...or delirium, i had severe case of it in 2004 with anxiety that drove me into a daze all the time. Benzos are good for this, maybe a moderate stimulant like Focalin XR?
the ensam should be working as an AD but i don't think its gonna help with DEREAL symptoms. You should really discuss all this with your doctor and be asserative when they start to diangose something else...
