Hi Kriss...
I hope I don't offend anyone here by what I'm about to say. It has been my opinion that there are only a limited few Psychiatrists that specialize in DID and those that don't....don't!!
Whether you feel like you want treatment for the DID at this time or not, I would first suggest making an appointment with a psychologist who specializes in Dissociative Disorders and do an interview with them along with some diagnostic (written) testing so that you may get an actual diagnosis of a DD if that is what you think it is. Once you have your diagnosis, then you can continue to see the Psychologist or find another specialist that would work with you on other issues. Even though you don't feel like you want to treat the DID at this point, it still affects your life and you will still need to manage it to keep it from getting out of control while dealing with other issues.
So....IMHO...find a specialist and let your p-doc manage your meds. You don't have too, but until you do, don't be surprised if you keep running into this kind of crap.
