I've been experiencing these for the past couple weeks. I'm currently on 150mg Wellbutrin, 30mg buspar, and on 3mg Ativan at night. Could these be a symptom of my meds? Has anyone else experienced this while taking any of these? I've been on them for quite some time but am just recently experiencing this and I'm very distressed.

Yes, I think it can be the meds. But is anything different or stressful happening lately?

Benzos are pretty common causes of derealization. You may want to try a very slow taper of the Ativan.

Temazepam gave me really severe derealization, like Ativan it too is a benzodiazepine. I found stress would make it more pronounced as well.

Did you just start bupropion? It has a reputation for causing DP/DR and even panic attacks in people with anxious conditions, and I can back that up personally..

Ativan implies that you do.. but unfortunately (again from experience), inter-dose withdrawal with any benzo can cause mild to obscenely bad DP/DR.. (yeah, even clonazepam. half-lives don't mean much with some drugs because of where they deposit from plasma; fatty tissue for benzos, so even though it has a magical 'half life of 18-50 hours', it's only really pharmacologically active for 4-6 hours, or maybe 8 for a few people. Ativan's usually 2-4 hours for most people, about 2 for me. I don't even take free xanax.. after 45 minutes of feeling a little more OK, it's done and I feel horrible.. and that's got a 12 hour h/l.

I went off on a tangent, but I enjoy it.

Good to know about the benzos, I had slight depersonalization feelings after stoping Xanax. First time I ever had them. I now think it's the Xanax.
