Does anyone else feel like they are in a dream?
« on: December 06, 2010, 03:01:00 PM »
I feel like I'm in a dream sometimes, it's almost like I'm a bystander in my own life. Does anyone know what it is? Or did I just eat some bad food?

I've felt like this for awhile, but I don't really feel like I can tell anyone.

The most important aspect is the fact that the experience is recent. Sudden onset of just about any symptom is important and often alerts one that something has significantly changed in one's brain chemistry.  Changes in Dopamine and Serotonin neurotransmitters can do this.  You may want to review your past few weeks — have you added/deleted medications?  Have you changed medications taken for nonpsychiatric issues such as pain, diabetes, etc.?

Sounds like an episode of dissociation/depersonalization, a hypnogogic experience, or some other condition.  

Or perhaps you just need to get a few successive nights of some good sleep...

I'm not a doctor, but I did play one on TV, once     :noid

You know how you can sit in a chair and lean back on two legs?  But then sometimes you lean back a little too far and you almost fall, but then you catch yourself just before you reach the tipping point and actually do fall.  Well, you know that second, after you lose your balance, while you're falling, but before you catch yourself?

I feel like that all the time.

Jokes aside, flu seasons is here, have you been taking any cold medications?

in the past 10 or so years DXM has been used instead of codeine as a cough suppressant, which in large doses does cause 'out of body experiences'. Some people react much stronger to it than others.

Hydrocodone pain meds, lortabs and the like, and muscle relaxers make me feel like that when taken in combination.  It might be time to see the doc today Tupac.

I haven't taken any meds in awhile, and I don't feel like I can go to the doctor because I'm afraid I'll lose my medical.

It's not that I'm depressed or anything, its just a really odd feeling.
