Yes, I did. I was so desperate that I took the anxiety medication first just to keep from having panic attacks. Often my panic attacks were preceded by feelings of derealization.The anxiety medication brought me some relief but it wasn't until I finally agreed to take the anti depressant that my mind was able to slow down and I wasn't constantly being triggered. I take a small dosage but I take it like I am supposed to and it helps a lot. I don't think I would have been able to process the diagnosis without it. The medication seems to give me time to sort things out. And that is all I need.
