DR HELP

[Ihatehppd]

I’ve been suffering from constant DR with hppd and its driving me insane. I hate it so much it makes me so depressed and anxious. How do i help it? Its a daily thing and usually comes on when im tired or anxious or even just thinking about it makes me feel like im in a DR state. Nothing feels as normal or “real” as it used to. I sometimes question if im even alive. (Im on lexapro 5mg and abilify 2.5mg)

There are only two things that take the edge off my DR... Benzos or alcohol. Two powerful, addictive drugs.

Hey Jay, I know you've tried TMS (I think) in the past.
Just throwing it out there that there are protocols out there that target DR specifically. I know it's done in France I'm currently following the treatment.
It might be worth looking into that as there are almost no side-effects and the treatment works good enough from what I understand.
It cured one guy I know.

I tried tDCS, which is like the poor man's TMS! It didn't really do anything for me, though I only tried it a few times. 

Keep us up to date on the TMS.

My tDCS was targeted at general anxiety, iirc. I didn't do a EEG/qEEG beforehand.
