Periodically, and without any sort of "trigger" or associative event I've been able to nail down, I get plagued by what I can only describe as "swarms" of deja vu.

When this happens, for a period of time (usually several days), I'll have multiple instances of deja vu take place. The memories are usually vague -- primarily, I just feel overwhelming physical sensations of repetition. I "feel" that I've done this before, felt this before. It's very hard to describe.

The experience is terrifying. I dread them. When they arrive, I'm placed into a near-panic. The knowledge that it's "all in my head" just doesn't help all that much. The fact that they'll keep coming makes them torture. Like being dropped into a temporary prison in my head.

So, what I'm getting at is this: Is there any way to shut off, or decrease either the frequency or intensity of deja vu? I'd be willing to do just about anything to get away from these.

Should I seek psychiatric help? Is there any form of treatment or therapy which can help with deja vu? I realize that most people don't mind -- but the continuing nature of my deja vu episodes makes them incredibly hard to weather.

Thanks in advance, any help or advice anyone can give.
