Depression/anxiety – “unreal” Feeling?

by jessica mullen

Question by RockNRollUK: Depression/anxiety – “unreal” feeling?
Hey guys,

I suffer from depression/anxiety and I’ve been taking Citalopram for about five weeks now. Sometimes I don’t feel like things are real – for example, I’ll do something and then a second later, it just doesn’t feel like it happened. It’s just like everything is “unreal” around me. It feels awful. I can’t think of any other way to explain it – it’s just the feeling that reality isn’t real or something – everything is unreal.

Anybody else suffered from this? Somebody once told me that it’s your nervous system that does it when suffering from depression with the medication.

Thanks.

Talk to your doctor, maybe you need some different meds

Answer by Just being me…
I’m sorry to hear about how you feel. I take Xanex for my anxiety, it keeps me calm while also keeping me in reality. I wouldn’t take something that makes life seem unreal. Talk to your doctor again and let them know how you are feeling.
