I've heard of Celexa working for some people. But your priority should be to figure out what is triggering your anxiety and stress. Also, if you have medical insurance, get an MRI of your brain just to make sure everything is alright, just in case your a bit worried about it being caused by something else. I have an underlying medical condition which is causing my derealization as well as my anxiety. Take care.

Yes, I've known many to have great results with this medication.  Keep in mind that we all react differently to the medications, if for some reson it doesn't work go back to your doctor, and don't ever stop it abruptly.  Good luck and take care.

Yes, it's called derealization and it's caused by anxiety. Please visit your primary physician so they can refer you to a good psychologist. I have derealization 24/7, I've had it for about 2 years, it's the strangest feeling and it's worse when it never goes away. Good luck!
