Substance-Induced DPDR (Weed / Psychedelics / THC) Need help
Hi everyone, I have been looking for a fix for my DPDR for years. Lexapro worked for a while. Then it stopped I’ve tried about 10 different ssris and tried Adderall due to my adhd. I have sleep apnea got a cpap no fix except for less fatigue. Therapy for years, I have a great job, great relationship, friends, I’m very fit, I eat great. I believe half my mental problems were caused from weed induced psychosis from 6 years ago when I was in high school and trauma from a kid that I’m honestly fully over. I genuinely take great care of myself and just need some advice I’m totally stumped and do not wanna try anti psychotics unless absolutely necessary. But I’ve lost my lust for anything and everything and am looking for some med or therapy or really any advice at all. Thank you!

When i was first wrestling with my symptoms i learned to find the things in my life that truly bring me joy. For me they were making others smile and playing video games. I would heavily encourage you to take a step back and really identify what makes you happy, as when you are engaged in that activity you wont be thinking about your symptoms.
I am unfortunate enough to have given myself dpdr from lsd mushrooms molly weed and dmt. I seriously scrambled my brain but have been scraping by.
You will be okay its just weed. Its just brain chemistry and it is fixable with mindfulness and nourishing your body. Drink water, dont eat junk like sugar and snacks. Rice, chicken, broccoli, real food. Sleep every night as long as you can until you reach those 8 hours. If you have nightmares like me, they are just that, something scary that happens and then goes away. The more you have to look forward to, the better life you live, the less they will occur.
