hello Caz,

If you have only been on Seroxat for three weeks then you need to give it more time. In a couple of weeks, you will probably feel that the depersonalisation is slowly going away as the meds kick in..

Hi Caz

They will go as you get calmer.

The meds do take a while to settle on and you can feel very unstable for the first few weeks.

Try helping yourself to learn to deeply relax, relaxation CD's, lavender aromatherapy, massage, yoga, Tai'chi, meditation etc all help enormously too.

Pleased the meds have helped. It is only normal to focus on a problem like breathing as we hold on to or dwell on what we can. You take hold of the fact that the tablets have helped you and work from there. We are all here to help you and hope the tablets have giving you that head start
