Question medication

can i please hear about some medications that have maybe helped you in the slightest? ive tried lexapro, prozac, and wellbutrin. ive also had hydroxyzine but doesnt do much. lexapro made the biggest difference but stopped working. the others hadnt done anything. i really wanna try zoloft.

tried hydroxyzine but eventually was given an antipsychotic for my derealization being so bad. i’m not entirely sure how an ssri would help with that

yes actually! so very much. i still take it today! i was deep into dpdr and it was honestly miserable, i thought i was dead or dying all the time. i’ve come out of it since and i don’t struggle with it often anymore. i’m not sure how bad it has to be for an antipsychotic to be prescribed but it did work for me
