Zarontin causing depersonalization?

Telling the difference between reality and dreams seems hard because of it right now...it is coming and going. I feel like I am going nuts :( I had the same thing on Keppra. It feels like the world around me isn't really. I'm getting off the meds soon. How can I deal with it till then?

Sorry yo uare having problems

Sorry yo uare having problems with your meds. If you are getting of your meds with your neurologists help then that fine. But please don't do it without any help. I did once and wound up in a coma after going into status epilepticus having 40 convulsive seizures an hour. That went on for about 8 hours before Mom could even get a vehicle they could put me in. ( before 911 came out). I was told they got me out only to have me go back into it again before Mom could even get back after taking the neigb=hbors castation wagon back and driving her car to the hospital. All I know is I came to 3 days after I had gone by Moms and ate dinner there and left. Believe me you do not want that.
