Hi Phil 176 UK, I used to have dissociative episodes, amnesia for the event. It's very disturbing. Dissociative amnesia I've never heard of, but it makes sense. If you dissociate, you don't recall what happened. I also had panic attacks around the same time and was on Ativan. I think depression and anxiety are more than enough to deal with. We don't need more. Keep writing on the forum. Good luck dealing with everything. BTW, I did finally stop with the dissociative episodes and panic attacks. It just went away. Nesie 237
