numbedout Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 I’ve had severe derealization and depersonalization for 6th months after going cold-turkey off of abilify. This is one of my scariest and debilitating symptoms. Is there anyone that has healed from this that can give me some hope? I just wanna feel like my old self again. I’m only 20, I feel like I had just started my life but now I’m pretty much confined to the house and non functional because of this.
