your statement of not knowing whether your symptoms are depersonalization...Im sorry we can not answer to that. only your own treatment providers (ie who ever is prescribing your meds for example) can tell you whether what you are feeling is depersonalization disorder or not...
what i can tell you is that in my location depersonalization does have those symptoms ...but... the diagnostics for it states the problem can not be because of drugs/ alcohol or better explained by other mental disorders...
to find out what the standards/diagnostics are in your location (your profile says swiss as your location) you will need to talk with your treatment providers.
I can also tell you that when I had these same symptoms because of weed my treatment providers did not call it depersonalization in me. they called it a ....side effect....which is not a mental disorder. its a reaction to the weed. kind of like sneezing is a reaction to pollen or a rash/hives is a reaction to medications or allergies. or headaches can be a reaction t weed/medications...
my suggestion if this continues to bother you talk with your treatment providers. they can help you discover why you are still having this problem because of the drugs. (here weed /Marijuana is called a drug)
