Feeling Drunk all the time

[Jacobdv]

Hi,
For the past many years I've had this feeling of being drunk all the time.
It started when I was13. After a session of playing at school, I started to feel dazed and drunk, like I was in a dream. Very soon I started to have this felling ALL the time. Every single moment of every day for the last eight years. Initially I was very worried and complained to my parents and family doctor but to no avail. I learnt to ignore this feeling.But not any more. This condition has adversely affected my studies. I have become physically and mentally inactive. A simple task of reading is a challenge.
Things around me don't fell real...like in a dream. I've visited a neurologist several time and even had an MRI scan and various blood tests. All were normal.I'm really frustrated and confused. I'll be very grateful if someone could at least diagnose this condition.

I had same issues.  The MRI, bloodwork, neurology, and all other tests came out just fine.   I went to a psychiatrist.  She specialized in derealization/depersonalization.  She prescribed clomipramine.  I felt better in a few weeks.  It was completely gone in few months.  I ended up taking the medication for a little bit more than a year and then weaned off it.

Hi people, finally I found a place where someone will probably understand me. I started to fell pretty similar to you all since more or less than a year and a half, since then, my life has change dramatically. I used to be very alerted and focused, but since this weird brain fog started, I'm not that person anymore, I'm currently suffering of lack of concentration and focus, and easily forget things. I need to repeat complex tasks several times in order to learn how to do them, the manager of my new job warned me once of getting dismissed if I continue like that. I'm felling helpless, I've tried nootropics, testosterone and recently had an appointment with a neurologist who didn't see anything abnormal. Sometimes it gets better, sometimes worst. It is a feeling as if I where drunk all the day long, it's horrible, and I'm not even wanting to socialise with people anymore due the fact that I'm not able to follow the conversation entirely, just the same as if you were drunk. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get my brain back. I'm not depressed or stressed, I can sense the difference of my stage and the ones I mentioned. If a specialist could clarify this and help me through, I would be very thankful!!!

Hi All,

I had very similar symptoms for 11 months, and had all sorts of tests including ECG, MRI's, Blood test etc. My main symptom was feeling slightly drunk and off balance all of the time, and very foggy.

I tried various things over the period, and things have finally started to improve now for me, due to:

1) Improved neck/head alignment and posture - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaPnNJs93Ts
2) Magnesium sulphate supplements
3) A hot water bottle on my mid / upper back every night for at least an hour.

I put my symptoms down to an issue with a lack of blood flow to the back of my head / neck, due to tight muscles.

I hope this works for you - Please let me know how you get on, and spread the message if it works.

Regards
Harry

Hey, did you find something out?
I only just started having this kind of sensation, and the timing couldn't have been worse, because I soon have exams, and I have to be really quick, and remember a whole lot of stuff for them. I am so nervous...I'd love to hear if you have anything new on your situation.
