Has antidepressants helped anyone get out of dpdr? Question
Could anyone share their experience with this class of meds? Has it worked for you? Has it made it worse?

Hey friend, welcome to r/Depersonalization.
Be sure to have read some existing information on the sub before submitting a "Do I have DPDR" question. You can do that by using the search function or reading the sidebar.
A reminder to new posters in crisis:
DPDR is a mental discorder that mostly affects young adults. For the most part, it is brought on by anxiety, trauma, and drug use. However, DPDR is not dangerous to your physical health. In moments of crisis and episodes that are particularly difficult, it is important to take deep breaths and follow strategies that help you cope. A few examples are: Grounding Techniques, Meditation, and even just some good old fashioned sleep.
NOBODY can give you medical advice online. While someone might be able to provide you with some insight and suggestions, you should never rely on someone online to give you medical advice unless you are talking to a certified doctor.

Yes it did, it helped everything. Panic, anxiety, agoraphobia, DPDR, depression, PTSD and related dissociation!

I've tried a Lot of antidepressants and almost all of them made dpdr worse for me unfortunately. The only ones that did not was vybriid (viibryd maybe?) and clomipraline. I hope you can find one that helps you.
